3rd gen wheel studs

Do they knock out? Or do I have to remove the hub and wheel bearing? Everywhere on the interballs says different things :S

I can't see an area where they could knock through, though its old and rusty behind the hub and there could well be a crap-filled access point I'm missing.

Anyone done it on an 89 4WS?

Thanks!!

(on the front - if it makes a difference?)

The back of the hub seems solid though, doesn't seem like there's any room to knock them through :S

Can't work out if this has been resolved or not, but in case not... The studs are listed as a different part, fitted from the rear. So yes, looks like they should just knock out like any normal wheel stud.

Apparently they didn't, the guy had to take the hubs off first :S

Ah yes, I see what you mean now - I wasn't looking for whether there was actually clearance or not, just if they were individually replaceable...
