Default Wheel stud removal

I'm looking to put some hub-centric spacers on the scoob to get the wheels to fill the arches nicely, and to keep it all safe I'm getting some 65mm wheel studs, question is, how easy is it to knock the old ones out or do they need to be pressed out

cheers

Jon

Pretty sure that when mags replaced mine he just whacked them out with a hammer. To put them in is a little more work as they are a very tight fit as you would hope and he used his wheel nut gun.

An afternoon at Mags to fit the new brakes then, and get the spacers on at the same time

Sounds like a plan, what brakes did you go for in the end mate?
