Why would you remove the hub to replace the studs? Can't you knock them out with the hubs in place?

Whatever you do, figure out how to use a puller/pusher to force them out and not a hammer. Be nice to your bearings!

Can't remove the studs without removing the hubs. The studs are installed from the back side. Removing old studs has no effect on bearings when the hubs a removed. Make sure the studs are seated fully when reinstalling.
