    What would be the best way to press the studs into the hub?
    On my older vehicals I used the wheel and lug to pull the stud through.
    Any info or ideas would be great.

    Thanks

    seems to me that the lug and stud method should still apply here?

    Maybe get an actual acorn lug nut?

    You can make a press with some pipe and a vise if you wanted, but the lug and impact wrench should work too.

    that's how i do it. it takes a little arm muscle but there is no chance of striping the stud.
