Take some 3/4 pictures of your car, don't be artistic. It's difficult to tell just by side photos as there is no third dimension to them, it's a profile.

The Fronts are a pain in the *** if you dont have air tools.. Dont take them all off because you wont have anything to hold on to when you tighten them....... I found out the hard way on the drivers side.. The passenger side were easy beacuse I used my air tools.. That was a breeze...
GOOD LUCK

Another idea is to lower the jack so that two bottom studs are resting on a block of wood and part of the car's weight can hold the hub in position.

RE: Wheel Spacers---installed
do our rotors not have the vents on the edge of the rotor?most front rotors have these vents,i just use a long flathead screwdriver and put it in the vent and rotate the rotor until it makes contact with the claiper,that keeps it from moving any where.
these are the vents im talking about

oh,ok.
on my camaro,i just had to hit the stud with hammer to knock them out,then put the new one in from behind,then put a nut on it and tighten it down to pull the stud up into the new rotor,it was a real piece of cake.

Yuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Better look and should be better handling too. I've always had a problem with how tucked in mustang wheels are....

That may actually work. The kit came with a stud removal tool that can't be used with the rotor on, but once the studs are out, you can replace the rotor and caliper and use the installation nut to seat the new studs. I'll have to try that!
Thanks, man!
