Do you guys re-use ARP studs when swapping hubs?
Just curious... I support the hub flange in my vice and smack them out with a hammer. A couple solid taps and they pop out.
Pull them into the new hubs with a spare lug, washers, a big wrench and some elbow grease.

The one I changed last year, I went ahead and used new ARP studs. Mine had a few threads that were messed up and just figured I would start with brand new... just in case.

I re-use mine as well. I have a cheap harbor freight press I use so I dont beat on the hub, and then I dont have to worry about hurting the threads pushing them in with a lugnut.
