I don't know if there's a 'best' way to do it but impact gun or a lug nut wrench, both seem to work pretty good.

impact gun is the best.... the fronts r cake, the rears (if ur putting extended studs on) can be a bitch but if u grind down on the rear end brackets a lil they will squeeze in

The best and correct way to do it is with a Stud Puller. A friend of mine has one, I used it to install the Housing Studs in my 9".

Yeah, I had to take the extended studs and my hubs to a machine shop. The BFH wouldn't work and neither would the lug nut trick.
