We use this press http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=33497<http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=33497> at work. works really well for just about anything we have needed it for. What I have done if I absolutely have to reuse the studs is thread the nuts on to keep from messing up the threads and then give them a good hard whack with a good heavy hammer. But generally if I have to remove the studs I install new ones (they are not all that expensive).
