trick to removing a pressed in stud?

Hm, that's a good point, adding the spacer to center the wheel. I'll have a look if that would work with mine. I did manage to get the pressed in studs out. The BFH did most of the hard work lol. Just supported it and hammered away and out they came, a lot easier then I expected. :)

What type of spacer did you use, a full 1/2 inch block with the holes drilled out or 4 individual 1/2 spacers?
