Default Wheel studs

Hi Guys,
I have brand new wheel studs I received with my brand new wheels , but I don't know what is the best way to force them into their hole on the wheel hubs. I don't have a press, and can hammer them from the back.

I tried buy screwing on a nut sliding on a washer, holding the hub in a die, but it is a hell of a job and I'm damaging the painting on the rear hubs/ front uprights

Is there a good/easy way to do it*? Perhaps just screwing the wheel nut when I fit the wheels will be enough*?

I'm sure there a lot of Ford guys who have good tips about that .

Thank you very much.

(oh, btw, I have ford Sierra running gears)
