Default Whats the best method for wheel studs installation?!?!?!

After taking my Dodge to discount tire, i guess the tire wasn't put on correctly because my back driver side tire flew off my truck stipping all the threads with it! So I beat the old ones out and tried to put the new ones on and nothing seems to work! Tried putting washers and tightening it into place with a nut and it busted the new threads! Tried using a c-clamp and a deep socket, c-clamp gave out! Any suggestions!

Welcome to DF. I will move you to the right section.

Personally, I would have went back to Discount Tire and given their manager an ear full. Maybe get the work done for free.

For future reference:

Ha! i know thats right!... they're reimbursing me.. they said they would redo the work for me but I didn't want another problem so I'll do it myself. I finally figured out how to get the studs thru. Just used a 7/8 closed end wrench, washer, nut and impacted the hell out of it to pull it thru.... and alot of wd40! Thanks!
