Drum brake issues

So....what is the correct procedure for removing front drum brake studs?

I currently have 9" drums on my 64 and have SBP Rallye wheels I want to install soon. I bought RH studs from Rockauto so I can use my new chrome lug nuts on them.

I'll be putting KH discs on over the winter when I rebuild the front suspension retaining the SBP but want to get this done before the Woodward Dream Cruise. I already have the brakes but want to do the complete front end all at once.

There is also a cutter that fits over the stud and cuts the shoulder so the studs can come out, but the grinder way works fine since you won't be using the same studs.
A cutoff wheel works best instead of a thick grinder wheel like you see on a 4" grinder normally.
Pull the new studs in with a lug nut.
