Re-Using Wheel Studs?

Basic facts:

Running Nismo 60-mm extended studs all around
Rear Wheel Bearing is bad

Options:

1) Replace bearing only

Remove hub/bearing, press out old bearing, press old hub (w/ studs) into new bearing, re-install (studs don't "move").

2) Buy hub assembly (combined hub/bearing)
Though these would have the stock (40 mm) studs.

I'd have to remove the Nismo studs from my old hub assembly but would they be re-usable? Especially considering the ideal way is to bash them out w/ a BFH which usually doesn't mean they can be used again. If I press them out and re-press them into the new hub assembly would that be ok or is it "installed once, can't use 'em again"?

I'm tempted to go with #2 since its relatively easy, especially since pressing in 5 wheel studs seems "easier" than the hub/bearing assembly.

Thoughts on this or am I going to have to source 5 60-mm Nismo studs that are brand new somehow? If anyone knows a place that will sell individual studs, please post a link.

If I can get individual studs, will buy a new hub assembly and studs, press them in ahead of time and do to a removal/replace to minimize downtime.

Thanks for any input!
