hey guys 
i had a bit of adverse luck with my bronco today and i need some advice 
 
i lost a wheel, snapped off one stud and galled up the other four 
i going to replace them all BUT i do not want to pull the axleshaft out (it a rear one) 
 
now, there is enough room there with the backing plate still installed that  i can feed the studs in from the back 
normally i would use a press or a BFH to seat them, but i cant do that with the axle still in 
can i put a few washers down and just use a lugnut to draw it in? 
 
or do you guys have a different trick ?

Installation

  1. Insert new wheel hub bolt in hole in the axle shaft (4234) or rear hub. Rotate wheel hub bolt slowly aligning serrations with those made by the original wheel hub bolt.
  1. Place four flatwashers over the outside end of the wheel hub bolt and thread the lug nut (1012) with the flat side against the washers.
