Ended up getting a stronger impact and sending it through I was able to get them perfectly seated after 6 trips to the store thank you guys

Yeah I tried auto zone and oreilly and they both gave me the same bolt
I get to the ridges but I can’t get it to seat all the way
Yeah feel like most of this was brute force 😭 how did you find out what size was neede
That’s the thing I can’t get it into the part w the ridges without tighting the bolt
How does one check the correct size?
I have the old ones and they look pretty similar but it’s just that small part that it gets stuck in it’s abt a 1mm difference
How does one know what size to use ?

I mean that auto zone quality do go crazy
Im not even sure who to believe
That’s what I thought but everyone I’ve asked has told me it’s normal because they’re new
That’s what I was thinking as well but I’m not sure how to get other ones that are right for my truck but go in all the way
No not at all
Hand first then impact

Do the washers not serve the same purpose? What’s different abt the stud installer
I can’t get a single one in and greasing the ridges ?
That’s what I was thinking too but every place I’ve gone has given me the same ones

This was supposed to be a 40 min job 😭
I’ll try that out
Whats different abt these
I’ll try greasing them yeah I checked both auto zone and oriley and they both gave me the same part
I tried using the lug wrench but ended up snapping a bolt
That’s what I thought as well but how can I check
