Best way to install wheel stud on rear axle

[ACUDANUT]

 I have not done this in 20 years...Can anyway remind me...Without pulling rear axle !!

I used a big C clamp and an old deep socket over the stud and pressed it in.  You could also try using a standard open lug nut and put it on upside down to draw it though, but that may or may not work depending on how tight the splines are.

the way i put new studs in my rear axle was to get a open end lug nut and some washers and put the stud through the axle then put washers on and the lug nut and tightened the nut up to draw it through. i also heard of people using the c clamp method like bluess454 mentioned

 I didn't mention that  ...
I am concerned about the wheel stud trying to spin and I try and tighten it up.

my bad put wrong name as long as your holes in the axle arent in rough shape and to oversized you should be able to draw the new studs right in without having to worry about the stud spinning. just make sure you get the right diameter studs and you should be fine.

And, however you choose to install it, check the lugnut torque periodically after it's been run for a while; the lug stud tends to seat a little further after use.
