Buy genuine studs, my dad bought ones from repco or something and they wouldn't fit even though they were clearly the right ones

Some years ago I replaced ones that look like this http://autorepair.about.com/od/fixit..._stud_repl.htm.
If Ford ones are the same, simply bash out the broken/stripped one from the front and bash in the new one from the rear. Simple. |

as above, just bash the old one out from the front. then the easiest way to get the new one back in is push it through from the back and tighten the nut back up on it to pull it through the hub. |

I did a stud on the rear of a BA wagon and the ABS/traction control sensor ring is in the way and needs to be knocked off 1st. I'm thinking it may be the same for AU but I'm not 100%.

fair enough, it is an au1 though, so there's a very good chance it doesn't even have abs...

Live axle - easy job.
IRS = axle out job.
