how hard is it to change axle/wheel studs?

BFH.

New ones will seat themselves when torquing the wheels on.

LOL, yep, that's about it. I usually thread a stock lug nut on a little ways to keep the stud from bending then beat the bejeezus out of it. Then use the lugnuts to pull the new studs in place and you won't even have to remove your axles! Have fun!

I had mine pressed in with a hydraulic press at a machine shop. Guess that was overkill?

Not at all, that's really the "correct" way to do it. But it can and has been done in a driveway with a hammer countless times with no probs.
