Just use 2 nuts on the same stud, lock them together by turning them against each other, then drive it in using the top one. Be careful putting the studs in, they only go to a very small torque, about 4nm I seem to remember, so basically just nipped. Once in, just loosen the nuts off and away you go :DD:

if this is for an exhaust manifold try using titanium nuts as they never rust or sieze on.
