Default I need to replace my wheel studs

I have tried to search several times for a thread that has pictures of how to do this. I haven't found a thread with pics that are working. It seems like a lot of people say do it yourself but a lot of people also say you need to have a machine shop press out the bearings. Since I can't find a thread with pics, does anyone have a picture from a Helms manual that shows what I need to take off to take to the machine shop. Even if I decide to take "it" to a shop to have the bearings pressed out, I don't even know what "it" looks like. Also, if you have the bearings pressed out do you also have the machine shop press the wheel studs back in? Heck I wouldn't even know what type of shop to take "it" to or what to ask them. ahhhhh.....

As you can see I am confused as all hell and I would appreciate some help.

Front or back wheel studs? I did the rear myself. I just put a lug nut on the wheel stud and took a small sledge hammer and smacked it a couple of times. The stud fell right out. I put the new wheel tud back in and used an impact gun to pull them back in. Hope this helps.

Well I need to do the front and rear. I have drums in the rear so those shouldn't be a problem, but from what I have read the fronts seem to be more of a pain.
