Wheel studs in a 4th gen
How hard is it to do wheel studs on a stock rear?
Where can I get longer then stock units?

especially if you are going with longer wheel studs, makes it that much harder.

yeah... you may be able to hammer the stock ones out, but might get stuck putting the new ones in

Yep, the axles absolutely should come out to remove and replace the studs. It's NOT advisable to hammer out the old studs or to use an impact gun and washers to seat the new studs. Both of those methods can damage either the stud's integrity or the axle.
Press the studs. You can use a bench vise. For removal, place a nut on the old stud and a large socket behind the back of the stud. Tighten the vise and the stud will press out of the axle and into the void in the socket. To install the new studs, place the stud into the axle. Place a large socket or piece of pipe over the stud's threads and tighten the vise. This will press the syud in. Stop when the flange of the stud is flush with the back of the axle. We use this method at the track all the time. takes a bit of time and energy, but it works.
