Joe---As you may know, these studs are splined and pressed in. (Bentley
and others have a way of suggesting such items can be merely tapped out)
I would put the wheel lugs back on loosly, (to protect the threads) soak
the contact area in the hub with your favorite penetrant for a while,
and give each stud a sharp rap with a stout, brass hammer. If this
doesn't do it, consider heating up each point with a torch.
