I have never seen a tool other than a hammer and a socket to fit a lug nut

Werd. A bfh works well to knock them out. An open lugnut and washers works well to pull the new ones in.

Yeah, I've never seen a special tool for it. The above recommendations should work fine.

FWIW, I pressed mine in using an A-frame press.

19/64" drill bit for the front hubs. Knock stock studs out with hammer, drill out the holes and use an old lug nut and washers stacked up to pull the stud through w/ an impact gun or Tbar lug wrench.

Rear axles, dnt need to be drilled out.

if you have a friend with a BallJoint press tool.you can use it to install the new studs along with an impact wrench.works perfectly
