A similar situation was discussed in another forum thread at http://www.hyundaiforum.com/m_13088/tm.htm . Since none of the stud is left exposed, you'll have to use a punch and I suggest a lighter hammer for control. If you have difficulty getting enough force on the stud to drive it out, you might have to partially drill it out. Use a hand grinder or file to smooth the exposed surface and first drill a small pilot hole (1/8" or 3/32") down the center as best you can (because unless you are damn good with a hand drill, you won't). Remeber to first use a center punch to provide a starting point for the small bit. Size the next bit to take out as much of the stud as possible without chewing any of the hub away. Now use the punch and hammer to finish the extraction. Most auto parts stores and the Hyundai dealership can provide the new stud.
Good luck
