If you mean the wheel studs, they are pressed in from the back of the hub. To remove them, put a wheel nut on to protect the thread then press them straight back into the hub. They only have to press back a few millimetres and they're free. You can put a socket over the round 'head' of the stud at the back of the hub so it has somewhere to go and use a big G-clamp as a press.

This will require removal of the hub from the vehicle.

Replacements are Sierra, available in various lengths.

Don't try and twist them out or you'll damage the hub.

You don't need to take the hub off the car, there's enough room at the bottom of the hub to push the studs out and fit longer ones in. Two swift whacks with a hammer will see them pop out if you're just replacing them.
