Front driver studs stuck

I had 2 studs snap off on my front passenger. They’re really close to the hub and I can’t get contact with a hammer. Tried using a screw driver to punch it out with a hammer but that didn’t work. Used wd40 as well. What’s my next step heat or drilling? Let me know thanks

 

Drill it and get a drift punch

 

Do you have access to a pneumatic hammer? Most big-box stores have them cheap and they're great for punching out ground down frame rivets and pressed fasteners, using the tip I'm circling here. You won't use it often but when you need one, they're freaking indespensible.

I like that idea! I’m going to buy one now haha thanks

 

All you need is 5-10 gal compressor behind it and it'll do the job. As long as all you need to do is shove something out of a hole that's been pressed into the hole, at least.

Also works well to slice apart fasteners, nuts, etc. too but that's another story

Pro tip: This damn thing is basically a mini-jackhammer with that specific fitting. It'll jump all over the gd place. For fasteners in a "tender" area where you don't want to be hammering into the surrounding area, consider to center-punch whatever you're pressing out, then drill it to create a pronounced divot in the material - it'll help you keep the tip centered on what you're pressing, versus it jumping all over the place.
