Question How difficult is it to change wheel studs?

I just bought myself some new wheels that have a thicker hub than the stock wheels, so I was planning on installing some longer studs. My question is, how hard is it to change them? I read somewhere else on the forum that for FD's you need to remove the rear hubs and take them to a machine shop to get the new ones pressed in. I was hoping it would be a simple job of hammering them out and pulling the new ones on with some nuts and spacers. I wouid like to know so I can figure out how lonmg it'll take. Thanks

That's exactly how it is, however the reaer disc needs to come off in order to completely remove the bolt (once you hammered it out).

Thanks, I knew I'd probably have to take the rotors off. I'm glad to hear that I won't need to take the hubs off.
