The rear caliper should come off pretty easily. I think it's just 2 17mm bolds on the back side of the bracket. Then you need to get the rear disk off. That may or may not be too bad depending if the set screws are frozen and/or the parking brake shoe is captive in the drum portion of the rotor. If you drill out the set screw (don't need to replace it) then you may still need to back of the P-brake shoe.

Then the big question is how are you going to get the old stud out. Smart money is on pressing out the stud (which may require removing the hub assy). Others pound out the stud while on the car but I think you risk too much damage of the wheel bearing. Great debate for either way I'm sure.

Is it fully demoed or just "tight"? Can you perhaps use a die to get it back in shape?

^ Its stripped so a full replacement is necessary.

I'm confident with removing the caliper now, along with the 2 set screws. Then I believe there is a large nut on the hub? Remove that and hopefully everything will be obvious then.

If you remove the spindle nut you should replace it with a new one..
