Issues With Wheel Studs

Very firstly I am not even sure where to post this, either diff's, wheels, or general and I will proceed to explain why.
I have a 2005 BF xr6 turbo ute. I had an issue with the wheel nuts coming off Saturday night whilst driving on the freeway in Brisbane, and my wheel came off. In the process I snapped 1 wheel stud clean, and bent the other 4. I have since tried to read guide after guide but none of them are describing the issue I have. One of the guides I read on here states just to drill a hole in the dust plate and you can tap the studs back through the hole. But in my case, I can completely remove the dust plate but my problem is the anti skid sensor ( at least that is what I think it is ). My studs cannot slide back due to a silver disc behind the studs trapping them in. I have found on an American youtube vid the guy talks about removing the diff cover, and inside the diff is a circlip. Remove the circlip and you will be able to slide the entire left axle shaft out which will have the 5 studs on it. Once fully removing the left shaft you can tap back the studs. Is this correct ? Has anyone ever removed the studs on a 2005 bf xr6 turbo ute ? Any info or help would be much appreciated as I am at a stale mate right now. Here are some pictures of my progress. You can clearly see from different angles how my studs are blocked in.

Have a read of the attached PDF mate. Details disassembly of the beam axle rear end. You'll need to remove the axles and ABS tone ring to remove the studs.

Thank you very much Ralph. You are an absolute life saver. That guide is gold. May I ask where you got that guide ? I will be doing this tomorrow afternoon. Once again mate, thanks for taking the time to provide that guide and help me out. Very much appreciated. I will try help the forums out and I will take plenty of pictures and reupload a guide if you would like ?
