Will take your advice and save the bearing, don't wanna damage that lol.
Edit: Studs arrived, will be taking pictures of the other way of uninstalling/installing these this weekend - aka a Big C-Clamp that I use to depress calipers.
Just so we are clear, you do NOT have to remove the hubs to remove these studs (atleast for the FRONT). There IS enough room to wiggle one stud out at a time. If you're going install anything longer than 10mm+ stock however, you will have to remove the hub to install them.
The biggest issue with just hammering these out, is keeping the bearing in tact. So the DIY way around this is a C-Clamp with a socket on one end, or this style of tierod remover tool:

Where did you find that C clamp?
I removed the hub from my car today, only to discover that the studs supplied with my H&R 5mm spacers were only 2mm longer than the OEM studs!
So now I need to find studs around 5 - 10 mm longer than stock, and a method for removing the stock studs. As a test, I tried tapping the stock studs with a hammer, and they didn't budge! :eye bulge:
