Rotating the Struts

Rotating the Struts
As I've read through the many posts on this topic, I'd like to do this to get more neg camber.
Noticed on Saturday that you have to remove the studs and place them in the alternate holes in the strut mounts.
Anyone have an easy way to get the studs out? Tried briefly but it felt like I needed to remove the strut and press them out.
Thanks for the help!!!

I did it without removing the struts.
1) remove the upper nut on the front struts
2) lift the front
3) disconnect the front sway bar from the end links.
At this point you can remove the (3) 13mm nuts that attach the camber plates against the body, remove the camber and perform the studs remove/reinstall. I didn't have a press, so I used a plastic hammer and a piece of wood, knocking the camber plate from the back, with the stud resting on the piece of wood.
