Trashed my wheel studs at the track need help

[Trickstr]

Wow... Im very confused now, haha, so the best bet is a press which I do not have so I will try my giant c-clamp I use on the calipers. Wish me luck, tomorrows project if the rain holds out.
I never went and re-checked the the lug nuts after I replaced the brakes a week ago, never forget to do that again!!!

I have to agree that a press or C-clamp is a better method; however, I have done it, and seen it done with a hammer countless times with no ill effects. There isn't (or at least shouldn't be) anything capable of putting such an indentation on a bearing roller inside of the bearing. Besides, even if you whack it hard with the hammer, it's nothing compared to how much force is applied to the bearing when you take your 4000 pound car over a pot-hole. The bearings are pretty tough; they can survive a hammer pretty well. Maybe not a 10 pound sledge, but you get the point.

Socket bigger than the back of the stud, plus a c-clamp. No hammer needed.
