Removing wheel studs
What is the best way to remove wheel studs? I have removed them using a BFH but I'm afraid of damaging the wheel bearings.

Remove the hub and use a press.

That was what I was thinking, maybe one stud would be okay but I've got 16, 8 per hub, using a 1/4" wheel spacer and the stock studs are short.

I never tried it but could this work for wheel studs? Autozone will rent it out for free. (If you have a store near you.)

Yep, I was going to suggest something like that. Just didn't know what to call it. I used one to remove my king pins.
