[Shotimes] being put out to stud

[Donald Mallinson]

Only problem with flipping the lug nut over is ours have a shoulder that 
prevents you from using a socket on the lug if flipped over!  Very hard 
to pull the lug in tight enough with an open end wrench.  I know I had 
to do this a month ago.

other suggestions?

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?)
