Friends,

Apologies that this has been kind of discussed in multiple threads already but I'm having a maybe unique issue I'm hoping you all can help with.

I'm working on replacing the studs on the rear wheel hubs with the Dorman 610-519's.

After reading through threads on this forum, I purchased the Lisle device ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).

All good screwing the lug nuts on down to the device on the stud, but upon trying to tighten further to pull the stud, I got a lot of resistance. In all honestly I brute forced it with my impact wrench, which pulled the stud but you won't be surprised to hear that the stud threads are now not so pristine, so I need to try a different approach.

I could put a bit of grease or oil on the knurl to reduce the resistance, but I'm hesitant to lubricate something that I'm trying to permanently fix to the hub.

Thanks all for advice in advance.
