Do  I press the studs out one at a time? (I hope so or that's a bunch of  
tool fab)

Is  it OK to press on them directly or do I need to fab a little adapter 
to the  depression in the end?


>>>>>>I screwed a lug nut onto the stud when  Ipressed the stud out.
 
Do  I press them into the new rotor and then bring the hub up with the 
wheel  nuts?


>>>>>That method might work. I pressed mine  with an hydraulic press. The 
rotor and hub must be together with the holes  aligned as the stud presses 
into both parts. Note that the studs have a  flat spot on the inboard flange 
which must be properly aligned so the stud can  be fully seated and can not 
rotate.

thanks in  advance.
