The studs are really one time press in. They should not be pressed out
and re-used. They should not be drawn in with a nut either so you really
have to remove the flange anyway to change them.

Hi Dennis,

The Vanagon has 300,000 KM on it, and I don't want to mess with the
wheel bearings on the baywindow, so I'd rather just use the studs.

Thanks for the info!

Happy trails,
