I dont think its too hard, but more time consuming than anything.
someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you can tap them out (more force then a tap). Then using some washers and a lug nut to pull the new ones through into place. As you tighten the lug nut it pull the stud into the hub. I've never dont it so I might be off there, thats just what I heard.
I just dont like the idea of longer studs because I swap wheels in the winter. I guess I could use open ended lug nuts, but bolting on some spacers with built in studs is so nice
...Easy on, easy off back to stock. Plus they cost about the same.

You're welcome. Someone else mantioned about an alignment and front camber kit. I dont recall you saying if you had one, but if you do, or plan to get one that will also affect what size spacer you should go with. If you adjust your camber so its a little less negative you would need a smaller spacer to be flush. I have neg 2.5 degree up front and no plans on a camber kit, as the front camber matches my rear camber. I cant run any less camber in the rear without rubbing.

Well if you dont have adjustable camber arms up front your camber wont change, just your toe (So alignment is still worth it). Keep your toe settings in spec and you should be good.

I told him to get the alignment first, because if you get the spacers first after you do the alignment your wheels will stick out more than you expected....as you see on the pic your wheel in the bottom is sticking out more than the top, once you do the alignment will be more flush to the fender......you wheel>>> \ after alignment >>>> | more or less no that straight lol ....
