There's usually plenty of room behind it to get the new studs in.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO

A TOOL IS MADE THAT YOU PRESS 'EM OUT WITH/ AND IN

DEPENDS ON YOUR ROOM, AS TO WHETHER YOU CAN PRESS 'EM OUT THE COUNTRY BOY WAY USING A C-CLAMP AND SOCKETS (I'LL SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE WITH U JOINTS, IN THIS CASE I'M USING A "PUSHER" AND A "RECEIVER" SOCKET WITH THE COUNTRY BOY METHOD....I TAPED THE RECEIVER TO THE CLAMP, FOR EASE IN HANDLING THE SYSTEM!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND "MR. BIG HAMMER" HE SOMETIMES CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND--MAYBE YOUR "EVIL BUDDY" THIS OCCASION!

AS WITH MR. HAMMER---WE DO HAVE MR. MONSTER CLAMP TOO!

LET ME KNOW HOW IT'S GOING, YOU MAY CAN RENT THE STUD TOOL AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE
