reuse wheel studs?
I have to replace my rear hub and I have longer wheel studs because of my half inch spacer. Can I press out the studs I have now and install them in the new hub or should I buy new studs? B\G

I am assuming that you have the ARP high strength long studs. As long as you have them pressed out and use a press to reinstall you will be fine. The BF Hammer method will NOT work here. The stud material is definitely much stronger than the flange metal on the hub so the stud should reseat fine. If you show any wear, I would just go ahead and replace them, cheap insurance.
Good information!
