Should just tap right out. If you dont see any post for that see if there are any post in the 2IS section with people putting spacers with longer studs. It will be the same process.

How much is the stud to replace?

if you google it, there's a lot of diy info.. pretty much the same process for most of cars.. i don't remember paying much to replace the wheel studs at the shop before... had many broken studs because of cheap wheels locks.

It's very easy to do, if you can get a air tool will be easier to install, to take it out, just hammer it out and insert the new one in from behind, then without installing the wheel, use a regular nut to pull it right thru the splines all the way out using the air gun. then unscrew the nut and install the tire with the regular wheel nuts.

They broke the stud on my G35 and they were going to replace it at some mom and pop shop. I insisted that it would be replaced at the dealership. They took care of it easily. Its anoying but can be a fact of life when mounting and unmounting the wheels
