Break lug nuts loose, but don't remove them.

Jack up car, support with jack stands.

Remove lug nuts.

Remove wheels.

Remove rotors. If they're rusted on, you can either pound them off, or also remove your brake caliper and use a big bolt and nut to push the rotor off.

Press or pound out wheel studs. They go out the back.

Insert new studs.

Put the rotor (and caliper if you took it off) and wheel back on, and use the lug nuts to pull the studs all the way in.

Remove the wheel again, and have a look at the back of the hub to make sure the studs are all the way in.

Put wheel on, hand-tight lug nuts.

Remove jackstands and set car down on wheels.

Torque lug nuts to spec.

I would have dragged it right back down to Schwab and told them that some gorilla with the impact wrench at your facility did this and make them fix it. Discount Tire is really good at stripping lug studs too. ******s. They sent the car to goodyear to get it fixed because they were too dumb.
