Are you talkin about the the studs that hold the tire on? If so i just changed all of mine...all i did was take the brake caliper off then the rotor and turned the hub till there was a little space behind it and pounded it out with a 2lbs hammer. youll need a small chisel or screw driver to get them completely out and pound the new ones in. NOT SURE IF ITS THE RIGHT WAY BUT IT WORKED FOR ME.

Are you trying to remove the whole spindle?
If so i think your talking about the outer tie rod thats connected to it....
Are you having trouble taking the nut off or seperating it from the spindle?
Also the second nut your refering to is probably the lower ball joint and nut.
Once the nuts are removed whack the control arm with a mini sledge or a regular hammer and you will see it pop out!
