Where did you get the 10mm spacers with integrated studs? I looked up many places online, was only able to see 15mm + integrated studs.

15mm is the minimum for spacers with studs integrated.
Anything smaller and it's a plain simple stud replacement.

If you don't like your wheel bearings, use a hammer.

Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap ball joint remover from Harbor Freight for $20. It won't dent the ***** in your wheel bearings like a hammer will.

Hub components will not be damaged using a hammer. Ball joint remover applies force to the same point of impact.
To protect the threads on your studs from either ball joint remover or hammer, thread a wheel nut on the stud.

Try hammering on any bearing and tell me it doesn't affect service life. The separator applies zero force to the bearings. All the force is on the hub face and stud. Might want to take a peek at the thread I linked.

You are correct. Using the separator is safe and won't cause any premature failure.

Def want to use a separator to pull the old studs and also a wheel stud installer for the new ones. There are plenty of good videos on youtube.

Nice, and these are on stock springs? Not sure if I skipped over the answer in other comments.

No, lowered on RSR springs.
