Wheel studs won’t come out

I tried hitting them out with a hammer and they won’t move. They broke off while driving idk why my lugs were loose but 4/5 broke and the 5th one the threads are screwed up. Anyone got an idea to help get these out. The car is a 93 z28 with 4 wheel discs.

Re: Wheel studs won’t come out

Have you sprayed them with something like PB Blaster? I've always been able to used a punch and hammer to drive them out, but I see that the service manual shows a tool which will press them out. The attached pdf shows the tool I'm talking about. A "C" clamp with a socket behind the stud that the stud head will go inside may be able to accomplish the same thing if there is room enough to fit everything. Otherwise, you may have to pull the axle and use a hydraulic press to remove them.
