Replacing Wheel Studs - Disc Brakes

My wheel studs were quite short on my rears which I replaced when I replaced my axles while doing the rearend. I assume my fronts are short as well, can these be removed/replaced with longer ones without removing anything further than rotor/caliper (basically can I pound them out and replace on the vehicle)? What is the knurl on a 2WD C10 with disc brakes? I will need to pull them out and replace in same day so need to order them ahead of time? Thanks.

Re: Replacing Wheel Studs - Disc Brakes

I don't know the knurl. Anywhere I've bought studs I just tell them what I have and the length if it's different than standard. I knocked out the broken stubs of lug studs and replaced them on the vehicle on the road before. But I would remove the hub & rotor. It's no big deal to do that and you can put the hub on a solid surface, or use a press. I'd think it would be hard on the wheel bearings to beat on a mounted hub for each stud, and not as easy as on a bench or the ground.
