I have several damaged lugnut studs on my 90. How hard are these to replace or am I better off just replacing the bearings?
 
They come out just like any other lug studs but I would take the bearings off and support the flange when you knock them out. The bearing probably wouldn't like the impact and the flange won't get bent either.
 
If you have enough room for a C-clamp and a socket then try that first. Place the socket on the inboard side where the stud's collar is.
You can use a thick washer and a nut to "pull" the new stud in place.

If you have enough room to to do this you don't he to remove the bearing assembly....
