This is the best video I've found, after hours of searching! This is my situation almost exactly. My question is, if you don't know for sure if you have a stud on one side, how should you proceed? My stud finder is not giving me much confidence.

Yea a stud finder dont work well with lath and plaster, most studs are 16 on the center, so you can use a nail to try and find it. Or make a small hole and use a wire to see how far in it is left and right.

Really powerful magnet works great for finding studs in plaster & lathe. It will attract to the nails that are holding the lathe assembly to the stud. Hang the magnet by a string and drag it along the wall. I use a magnet that is about 4" x 1" from Harbor Freight. Actually I use two magnets stuck together, which holds the string.

Do you then remove those 3 screws to the right that hold the lath and mud? Or leave them in?
