Anyone Have A Press For Putting In Wheel Studs

i have new wheel studs and took the old ones out, now ive heard from a couple guys that i could just freeze the new studs ice cold, then just hammer them into the press fittings. i dont really think i want to do it that way. i would rather freeze the studs than press them into the holes, instead of the hammering.

any input or if u have a press that would be able to press in the new studs.

thanks

u dont press u u get a something to take up slack and use the lug nut to put it on

A few washers and open ended lug nut FTW

i had to do 5 of them this past summer…did that a MIdas too…of course the impact gun makes it soo much easier

Impact, washers and open ended lug nut FTW.

:word: easiest way to do it

Washers and a impact work good, but use ALOT of grease, or you will make a mess out of the threads, grease the washers and the threads and they will pull right in.

important tip…anti-seize works best

thanks grant

Not a good idea to suggest using grease or anti-seize on the stud threads. You really don’t want a lubricant that will promote the lugs loosening. If you need lube which you shouldn’t just use something light like spray silicone or WD40

^ i always put just a touch of anti-sieze on my threads of all my cars. and it never loosened the lugs??? hmmm now u got me thinking.

You can always wipe greese off after when your done, but to pull a stud in without is pretty silly. I’ve been putting grease and anti-seeze on lug nuts for 15 years (4 of that was as a full time mechanic) and i’ve NEVER had lugs loosen, you can run around without grease, but good luck when your broken on the side of the road.
