Lisle Truck Wheel Stud Installer 28950 — Heavy-Duty, 22 mm (7/8") Fit, Impact Wrench Compatible

Lisle 28950 is a heavy-duty truck wheel stud installer that pulls new studs into hub bores quickly using an impact wrench or ratchet.

Designed for professional mechanics and DIYers who work on trucks and other heavy vehicles, the Lisle 28950 simplifies the process of replacing worn or broken wheel studs. The tool accepts studs up to 22 mm (7/8") and uses the vehicle's lug nut to draw the stud into place while a built-in thrust bearing reduces friction for smooth, controlled installation.

How does this tool make wheel stud replacement faster?

The Lisle 28950 streamlines stud installation by combining a puller body and thrust bearing that work with standard impact wrenches or ratchets. Instead of hammering or improvising, you install a stud in seconds with steady, repeatable pulls.

• Compatible with impact wrenches and hand ratchets for quick operation
• Thrust bearing minimizes effort and prevents binding during pulls
• Works with lug nuts to pull studs straight into the hub bore

What vehicles and stud sizes will this fit?

This installer is made for truck and heavy-duty wheel studs up to 22 mm (7/8") in diameter. Fitment is vehicle-specific—verify your truck’s stud diameter and hub access before use to ensure correct application.

• Accepts studs up to 22 mm (7/8") diameter
• Recommended for trucks and heavy vehicles with exposed hub bores
• Check original equipment specifications for stud length and thread pitch

What are the key features and how do they protect the stud and hub?

The tool body incorporates a thrust bearing and uses the lug nut to evenly compress the stud into its seat, reducing cross-threading and hub damage. Controlled, axial pulling keeps the stud straight so threads seat cleanly and reliably.

• Thrust bearing reduces torque transfer and heat buildup
• Even pulling action prevents skewed or misaligned studs
• Use existing lug nuts to secure and draw stud without hammering

How should I use the installer safely and effectively?

Set up the tool by threading the replacement stud into the hub, slip the installer over the stud, and secure a lug nut against the tool body. Operate an impact wrench or ratchet to draw the stud in until it seats; inspect the fit and torque the lug nut to spec after installation.

• Always verify stud diameter and thread compatibility before starting
• Hold or support the hub assembly as needed to prevent movement
• Inspect seating and torque wheel hardware to manufacturer specifications

Who is this for: The Lisle 28950 Truck Wheel Stud Installer suits professional shops, fleet maintenance crews, and experienced DIY mechanics who need a durable, repeatable tool for replacing truck wheel studs.
