dont bother replacing the studs, just get new rotors. The fox rotors don't take kindly to changing the studs. They can come loose from stretching out the hole. The last thing you want to do is fight with a stud that is spinning.

Id say new rotors as well, to get the studs out you'll need a BFH, its not the funnest thing to do...

Yup I'd just swap the rotor. My local autozone has them for like $22. This way you get the new studs and a rotor.

Well iam going to replace rotors in a couple of months but for now i managed to replace a stud and it was very simple, just used a hammer, came right off and just tapped new one in. Replaced the lug nuts aswell. Thanks for the input guys!
