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 ---

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. ---

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 ---

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. ---
