Thanks for these replies, they are appreciated. Could you elaborate on peen/swage? I've looked both terms up, but I'm not sure I understand. I'm going to take both your advice and leave them be, but if you could explain, especially about using the correct tool to cut the swage out (and what that tool is), I would be grateful. Virtually all the videos on YouTube regarding removal and replacement of of wheel studs merely shows them them being whacked out with a hammer and then drawn back in with a combination of washers and lug nuts. This just didn't seem right to me, which is why I'm posting this to the real experts on Stovebolt.com. What is the proper way to remove and replace wheel studs if/when I need to? Thanks again.
