On a steel frame gun replacing a hammer stud is very doable. Alloy frame guns are a different kind animal, especially on a gun with such a low price point to begin with.
One thing you should never do is dry fire a Smith revolver with the sideplate off. Very hard on the studs. The sideplate supports the studs' free ends. When it's removed the studs are cantilevered and very weak.
