? How do I install drop ear on old framing ?

I want to install the typical PEX drop ears, like the ones shown here (not my picture):

However my existing wood framing is as shown belowÂ

In the particular case shown here (kitchen sink) the wall is open so, I imagine the easiest thing is to go ahead and remove the old 2x4 and put a new one in the location appropriate for drop ears. But in my other bathroom, I do not intend to tear up the wall, so I guess IÂm stuck with the old framing. How do I install the drop ear?
