Default Broken wheel stud replacement on IRS

It's been awhile since I have torn into a Ford IRS, but exactly how hard is it to replace a wheel stud on one? Would I have to repack the bearings and/or replace them? The reason being is that there is one snapped one on my mom's car and I know Ford isn't going to replace it because she's running spacers on her aftermarket wheels. I just need some pointers and leads on aftermarket extended/hardened studs as well.

We just replaced one on the '99 with those nifty spacers... Not IRS, as you know.

I have extra studs from a set of 5. What size do you need?

Are the Moroso ones a direct fit? How hard would they be to replace?
