The caliper slides need to be removed and greased otherwise they seize up and wear your pads down unevenly which looks like the issue in your pics.

Since its a rust belt car check the brake line junction under the passenger side rear seat area, those rot out in the rubber grommet and you lose brakes. You can flare in copper nickle line from the junction block to unions inside the car.

The rear trailing arm bushings are known to go bad.

Check the rear subframe for rust.

I've built two of these generation legacies and they're great cars, but rust will condemn them to death.

To install wheel studs you use a punch and hammer the old ones out or put a sacrificial lug on and hammer it out of the taper.

To reinstall you can use a proper install tool:

or a sacrificial lug nut and two washers with grease between them and if it isnt open cut the top off with a grinder. I've used both methods.

gently caress removing the hub because you will break the ball joint taper bolt off without heat and you need a press to press the hub out. Press work is easy to gently caress up if you are inexperienced.
