Need help getting wheel studs to stay

Okay, I managed to remove my rotor, and replace my bad studs with some new ones. My question is about getting those new studs to stay put. How do I get the new studs pressed into the hub?

Should I take some picks, maybe to help a little?

Well the simplest way is to use some grade 8 washers, a spare lugnut and a good impact wrench and just run the lugnut down on the washers and it'll pull the stud right in. thats about the only way with out pulling the hub off and getting it pressed on.

That worked perfectly! Also, using a jack on my ratchet gave me the strength I needed to break free my brake pad/caliper bracket.
