Install it yourself on the car, with the wheel removed, so that you can see
more easily the progress of the seating of the stud. 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?)
You can check torque again in a day or so, but I'll bet it won't have changed.
