I know they are press in type but I've found a creative way to "press" them in myself..... without removing the axles.
I slide the stud in from the back as far as it will go and then I thread a lug nut on the stud and tighten it as far as it will go which forces the stud to seat the rest of the way. I did this once when one of my studs was stripped. I'm confident I can do the same trick with the new 3 inch studs......pretty confident that is...LOL
I'll let you know in a few days.
