The bearing/hub/rotor assembly on these cars is probably the worst design you can ever think of. However, if you have the tools and probably a good 4-6 hours it's not as hard as you think. Otherwise take it to a shop and they can definitely fix it.
Edit: While you're in there I'd go ahead and replace the 3 other studs, because it'll only take a couple more minutes extra. You can get studs at the honda dealership, and make sure you get new lug nuts too. At least get a new lug nut for the new lug if you only replace that one.
Hmm I just spoke with a mechanic I send my cars to sometimes and he says that I just have to remove the caliper and the studs just pop out without the removal of the rotors or the wheel hub
On some cars, yes. But when the rotor is pressed onto the hub, it is not an easy job. Hondas, in general, you cannot replace studs without putting a hub bearing in. Not enough room to hammer them in/out without hitting the knuckle. Silly design, really.
