Getting them out is easy if you have access to air tools. I just run a open end lug over the end of the stud...threading it on enough so it is about halfway on the stud. Then, simply get an air chisel, place the tip of the chisel on the inside the lug nut against the stud and let r rip.

Installing them can be done by hand they way you mention, just be sure to oil the threads and take your time. You can have them installed with a press too...which is preferred but not always feasible.
