Any body have any luck doing this themselves and not taking the whole axle to a machine shop for pressing? When I pried off my brake drum, it destroyed the studs. I tried the big thick washer and lug nut approach to try to pull it through, but it didn't feel good so i stopped. I am willing to take it to a shop, but if there's a way to home remedy and get it done before Monday I sure would love to hear it. I thought about freezing the studs overnight and heating up the axle but I am a little worried what the heat might do the wheel bearings.
