break all 16 studs? no way, that'll result in waaay too much work..

you'd either have to figure out how to press out the old studs and press in new ones, without removing the hubs entirely that is. or you'd have to replace all the hubs, and the front ones would need to be pressed out.

way too much work and $$$ for the problem being addressed..

been there done it... sometimes its the only way :shrug:

studs are easy to do most the time.... punch and hammer to get them off the hub, then to put them back on just knock em in with a hammer....impact to the nuts will suck em up the rest of the way...

cheap and not the right way but it does the trick
