OK don't do this :rolleyes
I had two middle studs snap on me. I laid the bike down on a mattress to get easy access, tied the wheel up and very very slowly drilled the studs out starting with a very small high quality metal drill bit, increasing the size of the drill bit as I made progress. Did take a week of careful drilling and lots of cups of tea and nerves. Had to make sure I was drilling straight Replaced with new studs ordered from AJSutton. As I say don't do it.....unless you you have lots of tea!
