Well guys ,any suggestions on how to put the new 3 inch studs in ,is there a back yard secret or should i take the axle and studs to a shop and have them pressed them in with a hydraulic press ,i tried to put one in with a hammer and a type of punch ,it wouldnt go in easely and straight too, i gave up before ruining the stud Outlaw jimmy2gates
I have not put new studs in my comet or mav. But have on other cars. I just took a hammer and started the stud enough to get a nut on it and used the nut to pull it in.
Just like Dean said.Get the sud lind up with the hole and use a open wheel nut but put it on backward [tapered part out] and just tighten it up till the stud is seated.Thats all!
wheel studs Thanks boys ,piece of cake when your told the best way to do it ,one side done perfect ,,now the other side . Draglite racing wheels mounted tomorrow . Outlaw Jimmy2gates
here's an intersting question however, how do you guys go about getting a broken off stud out? My thoguhts were to smack it with a hammer and pray that it pops out, using a punch, but seems to be no luck, not on a mav, but my buddy's charger... heh they're made allmost ideantical though For now, he just cruises with 4 lugs like a moron... oh well

couple of good smacks with a hammer and punch will get them out. works better if you pull the axle and support the flange immediately around the stud you're pulling.
