Default Removing studs from the front hubs, just smack them?

As title, just ordered hubcentric spacers and new longer stus, now to remove the old ones i simply.......?
From looking at them can i just smack them out from the front or are they threaded in??? Reason i ask such a simple question is that I am in this predicament becuse of a recent balls up with a std set of brakes which has now meant i need to fit my other bigger set and i don't want anything else going wrong just yet....

fit an old wheel nut first, just screw it down as far as it will go with out showing the head off the stud and then give it a good wack with a hammer the stud should then come loose from the back of the hub
