Hammering works just fine; thje pros do it all the time. Imagine the
pounding the wheel bearing takes in everyday use; you're unlikely to exceed
that as you remove the old stud. The stud is on there with less force than

Once you get the new on in place, you use the lug nut and some washers to
pull it all the way on.

Or put the brakes back together again, then have a helper step on the pedal
to hold the disk while you pull the stud in place.
