Whats the easiest way to go about the changing them front and rear?
Rear looks like need to remove the axle.
Front looks like need to remove the whole knuckle...

I think you'll need to do a full dissassembly.

The front hub appears to need the hub to be clear of the knuckle to get the bolts out otherwise the abs ring and the brake guard are in the way:

The rear may be easier, you will need to partially remove the axle to clear the bolts at the back

The front I don't think is possible as the ABS disc is a pressed in piece which prevents the studs from being removed. The rear is possible (I've read somewhere but forgot where) without removing the whole axle but have not yet done this.

The front would have to be possible otherwise what do you do with a broken stud...

I am not sure on that as that was going through my head aswell. My hubs didn't have the ABS disc when I bought the aftermarket ones to make it possible to change the studs as there was a choice of ABS or non ABS hub for the same price and that was the answer that was given to me - Ebay

As you can see the disc is a pressed in piece. Looks like there is a possibility to remove this but a slight bend in it will screw your ABS sensor up.

How did you go changing the studs over if you could?

Haven't got to it yet, Gonna wait till i have the lux cv kit and rear disc conversion so that I don't need everything apart multiple times. My mechanic say the ABS should just press off and on again
