Studs out ?

68 Charger rear axle.

Someone has thoughtfully changed 4 of the 5 studs on the drivers side rear axle to left hand thread.

Trying to change them back so my shiny new wheel nuts fit.
How do the studs come out ? The service manual is (unusually) less than helpful.

Cannot see anything retaining them, so I assume they are just splines and need a good whack ? Loathe to just whack them, so thought I'd ask first ! (There seems to be plenty of room behind for them to come out).

Thanks !

Get the new ones pressed in, though.

or wind the new studs in gently with washers as spacers

Depends if the new aftermarket ones have a different spline count........

Am going to try and get one of the old ones out today. Hopefully I'll be able to get some with the same spline count.

Let you know...
