It ain't that simple, believe me! Just removing the factory studs is no easy process....IF DONE CORRECTLY. To remove, the swage must be cut away on each stud with a 5/8" hole saw. Then, you must press each stud out the back side, taking care to support each stud being pressed with a tubular support to press the stud's head into. If un-supported, you WILL bend the hub flange.....NOT COOL!
Your best bet will be to find a DORMAN stud of the length you need, that has a 0.600" diameter shank with something like about a 0.621" knurl diameter. You'll have to ream the five stud holes to the 0.600" diameter before pressing studs into flange, WITH A SIMILAR TUBULAR SUPPORT backing-up each stud when pressed into flange.
