    Some studs are pressed out backward.

    Ok...so how do you get the new ones in?....It appears that I will have to
    separate the hub,...maybe remove the axle?...

    Although I haven't done it on a honda, this is how I pressed in a stud
    on another car.

    Put stud in place, put a bunch of washers on the lug nut side, put on
    the lug nut, then tightened until it pressed into place.

    Getting the stud out was a pain, I used a couple of clamps and a steel
    bar - certainly the wrong tool but better than beating on it with a
    hammer and damaging other parts.
