Fitting Sierra wheel studs
Does anyone have any good techniques for fitting new Sierra wheel studs - a night with a lump hammer has not been very successful - and it was a waste
of time painting the flanges.
Thanks Greg

We have just replaced ours. Knocking them out was easy enough, the tough bit was getting the new ones in. We placed ours in the freezer for 48hrs and
then using a suitable aluminium spacer, tightened a wheel nut onto the stud until it pulled through so the flange was flush on the hub.

i plopped the stud in the hole then pushed them in with a vice and a suitable sockt as a spacer so the stud didn't hit the vice jaws
bit of a thwack with the brass hammer ensure seated and voila
8 studs about 10min job max, this was granada studs into cortina hub though, not sure if its different for sierra

how do they differ from mk2 escort rear?
I used wheel to pull them on - that was fine. then tried pressing in with a vice - problem is they didn't go straight so bad I almsot could not
get the wheel on 
but when I did, pulled them straight again by doing up the wheel niuts, phew....
