Are the studs press fit in? did you have to pull the axle out to put them in?
Thanks

Axles still in the car, the old studs were banged out one at a time with an old wheel nut threaded on them. New studs were installed with a small bearing, washer and wheel nut. See the second picture in my install post. The bearing is the key makes pulling the new stud through a piece of cake.
