Heat and hammer

Or a press.

Heat and hammer

heat and a hammer is a terrible idea on cast aluminum.

 

last time I used a press. Put it studs down with a plate on top and it will press all 4 out at once. Line up the knurls on the new stud and push them back in while supporting the other side with something like a deep well socket.

With the costs of new studs and (if you don't have access to a press) the cost of labor.....just buying some different hubs might be cheaper.

Windy has a good point
