i didnt have to trim the stud and no dont use the gun the spacers are aluminum and you could crack them get a socket and a ratchet and snug them up set your torque wrench and have at it till you get to 150 after all 5 are on check them again and mount the wheel!

have you ever used a torque wrench? its a long ratchet that you dial in a specific foot pound you want to achieve and you crank till it depending on the torque wrench either beeps at you or clicks and you stop..
