The studs don't need to come out for any brakes. The rotors aren't impeded by the studs as the studs go directly into the hub.
It stays permanently unless you remove them for wheel hub replacement or just to remove. The red Loctite is used to keep the studs installed and to keep it from loosening when removing the nuts or vibrations.
