In order to get my Deere 310L to run chains for winter work, I had to install tire spacers to create clearance between the 19.5L x 24 tires and the frame.
Ordered the spacer kit, and discovered I had to remove the old wheel studs and replace them with longer ones.
I didn't relish the idea of bashing on them with a sledge, so I ordered this.

That, coupled with a 3/4 inch Milwaukee impact gun, and IR sockets, we were able to get the job done quickly.
We jacked up the rear end using the outriggers, and got the tires 1/4 of an inch off the ground. Then two of us easily removed the back tires. The good news is that the center hub supports the tire rim, so you can get it in place, and then rotate the rim to line up the holes without holding up a ton of weight. Having two people made the removal and reinstallation simple.
The tool from Amazon made it easy to get the old studs out, and the new ones in. The hub had a rim, which made using the tool a bit challenging, but we used a small chisel as a spacer to support the open barrel part of the tool. Studs came out easily with the Milwaukee impact on the tool, and the new ones went in as smoothly.
I would never try to do the job with a sledge. And the tool worked perfectly.
Now, we're ready for chains.
