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.
