Install  it yourself on the car, with the wheel removed, so that you can see  more easily the progress of the seating of the stud. Hammer the old one  out from the front, and install the new one from the back. Use the lug  nut upside down so that the larger top side of the nut takes the load,  rather than the smaller tapered shoulder. Tighten until it seats. Then  install the wheel and tighten to specs as above. (Flip the nut right  side up...but you knew to do that, right?)

You can check torque again in a day or so, but I'll bet it won't have changed.
