Take the knuckle off and head to a machine shop (or any shop for that matter) with a hydraulic press to press the hub out. You "can" do it yourself with a large enough socket and hammer, but you risk damaging the wheel bearings.

I have put civic studs in without pressing the hub out. if you'll use a grinder and make the circled end of the stud into a halfmoon shape, you can get them in there.

I would definately recommend going to someone with a press, I ended up spending more money replacing my bearings after f@*%ing them up trying to do it my self.

Yep, I've done that on my beater cars. But, my ***umtion was that if he is running Bogarts, he is running a good amount of hp at the track and hacked up wheels studs would make me worry a bit
