Need to remove these wheel studs. I've tried a C-clamp, without success. Thought about a BFH but that can't be right (right?). Any ideas welcome - thanks.
Thanks

Or a BFH. I used one and it worked great.

Your local automotive machine shop or repair station with a press can do it. I had rear hubs re-studded for $30.

Just did mine with the press yesterday, piece of cake.
Now the hubs are at the anodizer for refinishing, looking forward to see the result...

All - Thanks for the suggestions, I don't have a compressor (yet...) so good to know a BFH can do the J - O - B. However the offer of a press is mucho appreciated - thanks for the offer Dave! PM sent.
Jim - great thread, thanks - bookmarked.

The fronts can be pressed out pretty easily in a bench vice. Unless the rears are welded in, you should be able to put a steel lug nut on them and whack them out with a hammer.

Here's a link showing a tool available at Harbor Freight that can be used to press out studs:

You could try heating them in an oven for a while then hitting them. 200* would be safe
