has anyone replaced their REAR wheel studs? i know you have to take off the caliper and rotors. my question is, do you have to remove the brake pads so when pounding out the old studs, there is room for the stud to come out.

im hoping that i dont have to remove the brake pads. i don't like working on a drum system. too many springs!

anyone please chime in if you've done this before and any pointers would be appreciated.

here is a picture of what im talking about.




thanks
