2. Using the access hole, you can punch the new studs back in.
3. I agree using anti-sieze on the spacers so they dont stick and on the studs as well..
Let me know as I plan to do this when weather gets better during a weekend... Turkey cooking and BF shopping had me busy this weekend..

I think you'll have a hard time doing it that way. While you can use a punch, the method shown is meant to preserve the parts witout distorting the studs or messing up threads.
On putting them in, it take quite a bit of force. there's not much swinging room back there. Pulling them in with the impact is the best way.
Many do not recommend antiseize of lug threads
