I find it best to press them in from the rear using a short length of  small OD pipe over the threaded end of the stud to support the hub while pressing them in.  The pipe supports the hub so it wont bend or break. A twelve ton press should be more than enough to press them in fully.

Well, I hadn’t thought of removing the hub completely but a 12 ton press wold certainly be more “umph” than I can muster.

Thanks for helping me think “outside the box” of my tiny mind! Ha!
