I removed it and secured in a vise. More leverage and 0% chance of getting metal slivers/flakes into the inner wheel bearing.
I should also mention that the studs had some threading locking compound on the hub/stud Joint. Some studs turned out easily, but 1 of them wouldn't budge with the vicegrip. I had to reinstall a nut onto that stud, drill through both the nut and stud and push a #10 screw to act as a key. I was then able to remove that assembly. Finally I applied Loctite 242 (Blue) to the new studs on the portion that threaded back into the hub.
Hope this helps..
