How to replace wheel studs?

I cut like a square

If the rear hubs are similar to the fronts, I'd just pull it- that way you can work on the bench (using a vise to press studs), vs sitting on the concrete floor. The fronts I did (longer studs for Brembos) were cake in the vise.

You don't need a press to draw them into the hub.

Use a larger hex nut and slide it over and use a spare lug and seat the taper into the oversize hex nut and tighten.

This will draw the stud in straight

So what sort of voodoo does it take to get the parking brake shoes and the spring back into place?

Got it. If it weren't for the gaping hole I had to make in the dust shield, it would have been much harder.
