Question about putting on new studs! Hey guys, on our fbodys do we have to remove the axel to replace the rear studs? I would like to get this done and I'm trying to figure out how much work it's going to be. Thanks

I had this done a year ago. Supposedly a lot of people just use a sledge and then pull the studs through with an impact wrench. I heard that way could hurt the integrity of the threads, so I had my local shop press them in for me.
I've heard of a way to get studs out and pull them through without removing the axles. If you remove some of the brake components, there is a hole behind axle where you can access the stud and push it through. I'm not sure how many people do it that way.
