They studs are a press-fit, meaning they are slightly larger +.001" or +.002" and that is what holds them in. The splines on the side of the stud keep them from turnint. I would cut/grind the head off and try to drive them out. If you can't get them to move, I agree with the above posts about drlling the center out. That allows them to collapse in a little bit when driving them out.

Im gonna need a lot of drill bits from the sound of it

 

Just go slow and use a good cutting oil. If you have a drill press it would make pretty short work of the job. It is better to run the bits slow than to run the drill all out. A good rule of thumb to use is to run the drill just fast enough to produce good sized shavings and not faster. That and to use that cutting oil liberally...

 

What you have is an aluminum spacer. the wheel stud is seized to the spacer because of dissimilar metals. use a hammer and hit the outside of the spacer to try and jar it loose from the studs, be careful not to hit it too hard if you are going to reuse the spacer. The studs are impossible to find, I have tried. When I get ready to do brakes, I am going to buy new spacers. These,1" WHEELS SPACERS ADAPTERS 70s Chevy Corvette 7/16 | eBay. Not sure how to post a link, so probably wont work. Here is the item number "Item number: 380390038364". Tell me how to post a picture and I will show you what one of the studs look like.

 

your only other option is what has already been suggested. Grind of the head of the stud from the inside of the hub and drive the stud out backwards. The stud going thru the spacer is threaded to the factory stud going thru the hub. I would grind them all before trying to drive any of the studs. They are probably going to try and all come at once.

 

Is your setup the same as mine with the three inch spacer

 

Yep, first time I had to take them off they were froze too. Took the hammer to them and was able to get them free. Couple of months ago, same trouble with the front, they have a spacer too, not 3" but dont remember how thick. Every time I have to take the rears off, I strip a stud or lug nut. I have been searching for two years for replacements. That is why I am gonna just bite the bullet and buy new spacers with the studs in the spacer. Check them out on ebay with the item number 380390038364. If I could figure out how to post a picture, I can show you what the stud looks like. Hope this helps.

 

I got this for 'ya.

8 Lug Wheel Adapter - 8x170 to 8x170 - 3" Thick

Here is where i ordered my spacers a little cheaper

 

And yes i ordered 8x6.5 not 8x170 lol

 

Have you got your spacers yet? Are they good quality?
If someone can tell me how to post a pic, I took a pic of the stud you are trying to get off.
Have you had any success getting the studs off yet?

 

This is what the stud looks like. This is a front stud and is a little shorter, but you get the idea. This threads onto the factory stud that is pressed into the hub.

 

Got them off well a welding shop did and no havent gotten them yet hopin tomorrow

What lube should i use before putting the spindal nut and bearing back in?

 

Are you talking about bearing lube? I use a high quality tube grease, get the best you can find, something good and tacky.
never mind, forgot for a minute you are working on the rear. Does yours not have the two piece hub?
