Where in socal to get wheel studs replaced?
This is a silly question, I know, but there's a reason. I've been reading countless wheel stud replacement threads and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer as to whether or not wheel bearings will be damaged in the process of replacing the wheel studs.
Some say that if you use the ghetto hammer method to remove the hub, the bearings will get damaged. Others say that a press will be the only thing to save the bearings.
So, my question is, what shops in socal do you guys trust to change out your studs without farking up the bearings? My bearings seem fine right now, so I don't see a point in replacing them...

I ended up going to Auto Star in Walnut. They charged me 35 bucks, w/o parts.

you can def replace wheel studs without damaging anything, just spin the hub and theres a little part in the back like a gap you can tap them out at then put new ones in

they charged me 25 per wheel if you bring your own studs. 1.99 from kragen
other places charge 75-100
they do a good job too.

Depends on what car he has. Some have access to remove the studs, some don't. Your avatar shows an Integra, the front hubs do not have access to pound the studs out. Go pull your front tire, and take a pic if you see where the studs can be knocked out.
I have heard of grinding the studs and grinding the hubs to make room, but I think I will rent a hub puller before doing that.
