just curious on how you bent the studs?

how many were bent? you might just have to dremel (cut) off the bent part and bang out the stud and install new ones

To press out a broken stud, I put a socket over the back of the stud and pressed it w/ a hefty c-clamp. I thought this would be gentler than pounding on the wheel hub. -scott

that can work if there still is part of the wheel stud sticking out...most of the bent studs i've seen had to be cut at the hole leaving nothing protruding out to use a "c" clamp on...we just used a punch and a hammer to bang it out

The same punch can be wedged in a c-clamp to press out the remaining stud. -scott

yea you can just replace the hub, but if you do you might as well change the wheel bearing too.
