Changing reverse studs to regular

Ok, so i've got the new studs to replace all driver's side wheel studs on my 61 Special. From previous experience, the things will just pop out with a good tap of the hammer.

A good throw of the hammer is doing nothing to these. Using a clamp and trying to press these things out is not working either.

I know i'm going to have to take the front hub and the rear axle to have them pressed out with some serious hydraulic force, but has anyone else experienced this??

The only thing i can imagine that is wrong with these things is that silly me didn't realise at first that they were reverse threaded, so needless to say, those wheels were on about as tight as tight can be. So tight that 2 studs broke. Yes, i was dumb, but at least i learned my lesson.

Anyone?


Just chatting,
Mike.
