Press it out and install a new.  Same for the rear, press those out and get longer.

Yeah, rear's are def too short.

You can just bang them out in place, and then pull the new ones in with a nut and some washers but I prefer to use the press also.....

Thank you gents.

Since I will be replacing the rear studs, I'd like to get drums that have a built in spacer like these to match how the front wheels fill out the arches:

I read the standard stud is 35mm, how would I calculate the needed stud length for the new drum? The additional spacing is 1 inch (25mm-ish), so would a 58mm stud be long enough? Too long?

Those mini fins you have back there not the spaced version?

They are flat-faced and don't seem to be raised like some Minifins pictures I've seen. But they do stick out more than the original steel drums. I'll need to measure the difference when I get home today.

I think you need the 55mm studs. Off the top of my head was thinking 2 inches but spares list 55mm for spaced drums which is  2.16 inches.

Edit. Although 58mm would probably work too assuming the lugs are deep enough.

So I was able to pull all the studs out of the rear hub and the damaged stud out of the front disc. They appear to both be 35 mm. I noticed the one from the disc (right stud in the picture) doesn't have the bevel, whereas the left one does. The back of the disc is flat, unlike the countersunk surface of the rear hub.

Finding a stud that's like the front one seems to be tricky. Would it be acceptable to replace it with one that's shaped like the one on the left?
