Default OT(?) Sheared lug nut stud

Hi guys, Putting the (front) snow tires on my 2002 Corolla I sheared off a stud.
Apparently this is fairly easy to fix. But I've never done it.
Two questions.
Do I need to take off the Brake calipers and rotor?
Second any tricks for pulling the new stud.
(what do I pull against?)
My lug nuts are capped, so it seems like I'll need the perfect length of cylinder (going over the stud and contacting the wheel) to pull against.. maybe I should get an uncapped lug nut at the auto parts store?

Thanks
