Not on the fleet but a trailer I'm renovating.

Is it a case of tap in with a mallet? Or pack washers and draw it thorugh
with the nut? Don't want to feck it up as the Hubs are prehistoric... to
replace the hubs will require new suspension units x4... oh joy.

I'm assuming that we're talking splined shank studs here.

Draw them / push them in somehow unless you have the hub off the axle.
If you hammer them when the hub is supported by the wheel bearings you
risk doing nasties to the bearings.

A copper mallet is best.
