Just thought I'd add my experiences from my install this weekend. I used washers and an impact and everthig went well. I hammered the fronts out aftet removing the brakes. For the rears, I hammered the studs out then removed the hub and pulled the studs in. I used some Ichibas in the front and ARPs in the rear. The ARPs are light years ahead of the Ichibas. The ARPs made my impact work to get set, while the Ichibas could almost be pushed in by hand. One of them wouldn't even seat, it just spun in the hub. Fortunately I put a nut on my stock studs when I hammered them out & they were still usable. I've already ordered ARPs for the front and this Ichiba crap will soon find solace in the trash bin.
I guess now I know why they were for sale. :/
