Electric impact and pulling wheelstuds?

Which electric impact can do this?

I need to swap out my wheels studs for some shorter ones and am looking for an electric impact to do this, and make future wheels changes easier and less painful on the back.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

Why are you using an impact. Hammer to knock them out and I believe you can use a hammer to tap them back in as well.

I have a snap on electric impact and it works very good but i dont think it could pull a wheel stud back through i have always used my snap on air impact. The rears you can use a hammer on since you have to pull the axles (if using arp wheel studs b/c there longer) the front will take a installer to replace them once removed. There are wheel stud installers but a old lugnut and big nut work for me.

I don't believe that my DeWalt 18v 1/2" impact gun could pull wheel studs all of the way through a hub, but I've never tried.

most wheel studs will install easily ...my cheap airgun($20) that my lil sis bought me has enough power to pull a wheel stud.i have an installer made by lisle that helps make the job easier and you dont mess anything up.
