If you can get the stud out by beating on it with a hammer than that is great. If the hub is still on the SVX and the bearings are in place, excessive force could damage the bearings. I have a picture in my locker showing a large C-clamp I use. The pic is for a 97 Impeza and I have used the same for the SVX.
I have noticed that when the SVX wheel comes off the rim will often drop onto the studs and this leaves aluminum in the threads of the studs. A quick wipe will remove it before installing the nuts.
I like to check all the lug nuts after I get new tires or work done on the cars. One time a stud was messed up and most times the nuts are to tight. Now I don't use the shop that stripped the stud.
