Changing out wheel studs

Hi everyone

Has anyone here changed out the studs on thier wheel hub? Preferably the rear?

I had to change one of my rear passenger studs b/c of a freaking moron at discount tire (He stripped the stud) Now I was able to replace it and screw the lug nut on however the head of the stud is not flush with the hub.

Does anyone have a trick on making it flush with the hub? I know the dust shield can be removed but i don't have the tools to remove the hub. I hope someone here will know something. Thanks!

I use the closed end of a wrench to space it out, an open end lug nut and an impact gun. Changed out all mine for longer Nismo ones.

Just get a stack of washers and a lug and impact it on.
