There is no tool to my knowledge. Either install with a hydraulic press, or pull through with a lug nut and an impact gun. Keep in mind, holes in the hub must be drilled out to the correct size beforehand.

Put the new studs in the freezer. They will shrink a little and be easier to install. Put the stud through the hole and put a couple of washers over the stud. Use the flat side of an open end lug nut and pull the stud using an impact gun. Don't over-tighten the lug nut as it might strip the stud. Use a torque wrench set at 95 ft-lbs to finally seat the stud.
Recheck the torque on the lug nuts after a little bit of driving

If there press ins go have em pressed risking striping em with the impact gun isn't worth it when you frees it it will also make the threads smaller easier to strip. Pull the hubs and have em pressed
