Buy a replacement stud from Toyota for around 1.90 each.
Remove caliper & disc.
Using two hammers one resting behind the hub flange the other to hit the stud.
One good accurate crack with the hammer and it'll fly out very easily.
Draw in new stud using wheel nut.

Yep, as above, it's a simple job on the front.

Ian C posted some tips here (okay, it's the rear one, but there are some good tips in it): http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=61142&highlight=hub
