wheel studs not going on!
well I broke a couple wheel studs on the front passenger side. Well I hammered them out and bought some new studs, and can not get them in! I first tried hammering them in, then I tried putting a open end lugnut on it and impacting it, still nothing. So then I tried the big daddy breaker bar, and ended up breaking the stud, but it still wasnt seated all the way.. Any ideas?
also I measured the width of the old and new, they look to be the same.

I put a stack of about 8 washers over the stud, then an old lugnut and just pulled the stud through. This was with an 18V cordless impact so it doesn't have a ton of power. It helped to heat the area around the stud with a torch for about 15 sec first, without doing this my impact would not fully pull the stud through.
