If you don't have a sledge hammer and punch or a hydraulic press, buy 
the replacement studs and take them and the drum to a local automotive 
machine shop and they'll make quick work of it.

the old studs.  Insert the new studs  into the drum splines, put a big
socket on the cement for the stud to stick down into, hold the drum level
with one hand and use the big hammer to whack the new studs home.
