Hi all, just started my build a few weeks back with my 9 year old son. Taking it slow and steady . Mk4 complete kit with IRS.

So far we have been able to figure things out with a lot of help from this forum. So this is my first post asking for specific help. I have read several posts on recommendations for removing these stubborn studs from the rear hubs to get the kit provided stud replacements in. I have tried virtually all suggestions. I can’t get the things to move. I think part of it is Everytime I put alot of force on the hub I am so nervous to damage it. Am I missing something? Not even my air sledge hammer gets them to move with hub properly seated and protected in my vice. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Mike
