Huh. A couple months back, I helped someone replace a broken stud in their garage with some C-clamps and hammers. On a lot of vehicles, it's just "press the old one out, pull the new one in." But there's a reason that r/justrolledintotheshop talks about "uggaduggas" as a torque spec - to make fun of the people who just let an impact driver pound away at things like lug nuts. Cross threaded? Screw it, more uggaduggas! It'll snap when someone takes it off? Not My Problem! Oddly enough, it's not always righty tighty. I rode motorcycles that had axles that were the opposite (so normal rotation would tighten them), and it was well known on the forums that if you let a shop just go at it, they'd try to loosen it, tighten it, smash the spacer, and your wheel bearings would then fail in short order. I always either watched the shop take my wheels off, or just took the wheels off myself and took them in to get the rubber replaced (alarmingly frequently - I was riding a lot).
