Definitely don't try to pull a new one into place with a lug nut and a stack of washers, or something like that. It might be possible to use an air hammer with a blunted punch to drive one in from the back side, but make sure it isn't trying to displace a lot of metal as it cuts its new splines in the hub. I have had to file a little off the spline of a new stud at times to ease installation a bit. Removing one stud by threading a lug nut on flush with the end, and using a BIG hammer to pound it out usually works, so you can take an example to the parts store, but getting one back in that way can be challenging! I prefer a press! Jerry
