Driving studs out with a hammer is not the best way to remove studs because the impact can cause tiny depressions on the wheel bearing race or rollers. These depressions can be the beginning of bearing failure, or at the least, noisy bearings (might not show up until several thousand miles later). You should press the studs out with a tool made for the job.
