The best way is Mark's and Hot Rod Jerry's way. Press in.
If you are breaking studs doing any other way, buy a better stud.
Dorman Chinese metal no good for safety related items. As has been proven here.
The Lisle installer has a full 5 star rating with 1838 ratings on Amazon. That could mean no broken studs. This is the draw-in method.
I have some real world experience also:
Mechanical Design Engineer, Honeywell Flight Systems Division. 31 years.
Senior DIY instructor, Shade Tree Mechanics Institute (STMI Cert.) 6 mo's, mutual separation.
Bunch of cars and trucks. Probably about 60 years.
My comment was NOT aimed at any particular person and said "Some folks". Sorry Mark. This is not worth losing a Stovebolt friend. Of course if you are a mechanic and have a press, you would use it. I was trying to explain to the average DIY'er like me a way to do it that works. Web links, strength of ARP, impact warning, ratings on Amazon, and my experience. Members can choose any option as I tried to say each time. Some folks break them off, some don't.
