Any write-ups on how to replace wheel studs? Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a guide to replace the wheel studs. Im doing it on a 98 V6 Camaro if that matters. Thanx a ton to anyone who can help. 
I don't know if this is the way you are supposed to do it, but I used a sledge hammer to remove the old ones. They are just pressed in.
I put the new ones in and ran a lugnut up on them and tightened it until they pulled into the axle. An impact wrench would come in handy here.

in the rear you will need to remove the axles realistically.
there is some info in the technical write up/ product review section that PSJ and I posted on this.
getting rotors off is cake. just take the two bolts out that hold the caliper in(15mm in back, 18mm in front) and pull the caliper off and get it supported somewhere out of the way and the just pull the rotor off...caliper is all that holds it on.

The only other thing is that the rotors have these little metal clips on the studs that hold the rotor on. I just took a screw driver and bent back the tabs and the clips came right off.
