Yep sorry didn't go into detail, but yes that's the plan!

yea real easy. any hammer will do they pop right out. make sure when you put the new stud in it goes in straight

And you have strong hands to hold the hub if your car is rear wheel drive (maybe use some rubber gloves with good grip)

The installer tool helps too but needs a washer between the hub and tool otherwise the bearing portion hits the hub face. Also stop tightening immediately once it is bottomed out or you'll be in the dark with a grinder grinding off the back of the stud so you can pull it through after the nut has siezed itself onto the stud threads (not having a humongous impact gun probably helps too). Do not ask how I learned this.

Jhill that is right make sure you dont over tighten because you wont be able to get the nut off. (when you put the wheel on it will keep the lug nut pressed in) Make sure you always keep a stud on there so you have something to hold onto while you try to loosen the one you just tightened. I didn't have to use a washer with the bearing installer

Be careful if using lug nuts to pull new studs. Use lots of anti-seize to keep from galling the threads. Get a handful of the lug nuts, because the threads won't hold up after 2 or 3 stud installs. Here's how I installed new studs.
