I did put just a little bit of effort into matching the splines when starting to draw the lugs into the hub. Just a smidge of antiseize or grease also seemed appropriate.

I ended up buying a wheel stud installer, heated the hub with a torch, and froze the studs installing. My spacer was too large the first time and didn't allow the nut to get threaded on enough threads causing them to strip from the pressure. I used a torque wrench to tighten the nut down and pull the stud through.
If you are talking about the round part, that is just the back of the wheel stud.
Nothing else to remove except popping that wheel stud out now.
Some of the tips in this thread are very helpful for getting your new wheel studs in. I used this method (pulled right in straight, no problem):
I’ve highlighted the backing plate. It appears to be covering the backs of all of the studs. It also seems like there is some kind of gasket sandwiched in between that plate and the hub.
That does not cover the back of the studs. There are holes in that plate where the studs go through.
I may have missed it but can anyone chime in on the proper bolt size/pitch for pulling the disc brake off? Or could you just give it a few whacks to get it to come off. Might be good to throw it in the tool kit along with the setup being used to pull the new stud in.
Cool, I’ll go ahead and start hammering then
I appreciate ya!
Update: Came off w/o issue. And got the new one on in under 10 min using a 5/8 nut as a spacer!
