Youtube sure makes it look easy. My studs were swaged in and did not come out quite so easy. I would guess it was 20X more difficult to get my studs out than that youtube video showed. After removing my studs, I attempted to use that very same tool from Lisle. I still broke a stud. I had them pressed in. I think they were just a couple thousandths too big for that tool to do it smoothly. The tool worked great on another vehicle however. Be prepared for your studs to not pop out like the video. I think maybe that was staged for the filming.
