Are you using a press or hammer? You shouldn't be able to "pull them through". It's a very tight fit when sized correctly.

Put the stud in the freezer for a few hours, heat the axle flange with a torch, use liberal amounts of grease, a few washers (also covered in grease), a lug nut and either a large breaker bar (30" or longer) or an impact. Should pull it right in.

 

Throw that lug nut in the trash afterwards.

Yeah I figured it out thanks for the replyes guys. I just figured it was gona be the same process as any other car or truck I had put new studs in. I got just one side front done. I'm thinking for the next one I'm using a press.

The way I had tryed to do this was by placing them in the using. Lug nuts to pull the studs into place. Used a half inch drive ratchet with a 4' cheater pipe still didn't seat them all the way. So my dad ended up using a bfh and a punch to set them.
