Tap the lug in, put the socket over the threads and th clamp around the whole business. Tighten the clamp. It may help to put the lugs in the freezer the night before. If your shop isn't heated, aim some kind of space heater at the flange for a while as well. Freezing the lugs won't help if the truck is already -15C. WARNING: if your lugs stripped while trying to pull them in, make sure the clamp is the BIGGEST one that will fit in the available space!
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
