before I replace a few wheel studs I would like to ask for advice on any slick methods on how you guys remove and replace them so I do it right. In fact I haven't even bought them yet so any advice there would help.

A properly supported hub and a hammer works fine for me. A press is better and I've used those install tools used with a wheel nut and they work well too.

Thanks, I have a press I never thought of using it for that but that's a great idea, I will now.

Might want to see if your rotors have ever been removed first.
If not you'll need to drill the retaining rivets out first.
After that; fronts aren't too bad.
Though you might want to remove the hubs so you're not pounding against your bearings.
Rears are a different story as the replacement stud length can require removal of the axle - much bigger job. Some drill out the dust shield with some success.
I just want to do the fronts and the rotors are off I had the pleasure of drilling out the rivets. The hubs are out, in fact the whole car is disassembled.
