well old age got the best of them and they stretched out, making all the holes on the rims egg shaped. so i got new rims, new tires, new studs and lugs. Thursday im going to my buddys house who has a full air set.

all i know is it requires a good impact wrench. thats all ive heard lol

you put a punch on them and drive them toward the center of the truck and they pop out... the new studs have splines on them right?? you push the new stud in as far as it will go, then put the nut on and use the impact on the nut to pull the stud thru the flange. when your half way thru, take off the nut and put 4-5 washer on the stud and put the nut back on and pull the rest of the way.
