Default replacing wheel studs

I just got some weld prostars, and I'm trying to install my new longer ARP wheel studs. It looks like there is no way to thread the new studs with out taking the axels out. Is this true? Is there a simpler way to do this? Suggestions or pictures anyone?

From your mod list, it doesn't seem like pulling the axles should be too hard for you. I haven't taken a look at the F-body rear axle flanges, but a lot of times there is a cutout to allow clearance to knock the studs out. If not, pulling the axles should really only take about 10 minutes, 20 tops....

There is a hole in the backing plate that lets you get the studs out. Just have to rotate the axle to bring each stud to that spot.
