If this is on a rear wheel, you might possibly be able to remove the entire axle shaft with wheel and drum. You can remove the diff cover, pinion shaft lock bolt and pin, and I think you can push the axle in far enough to dislodge the c-clip that retains the axle. Front wheel, the only thing that comes to mind, if you can remove the center cap of wheel, is to extract the axle from the hub, unbolt the hub and bearing, and pull wheel, hub and all. You might also have to disconnect the respective caliper and take it with the wheel/hub. The backs of the studs can then be drilled, or ground off to seperate the pieces.
