Well, as the title says, who do you install them? I didnt think anything about it until I heard that you need a special tool for studding (hehe). Anybody installed these?

I always just double nut the end and you can run them in like that. There is a tool for it but I don't have one. The old ones you can just grab with vise grips and turn them out (since you aren't worried about the the threads. Also, since you have the ARP studs (and you won't need to replace them again) you should loctite the studs into the head. Good luck.

ARP studs should be only tightened hand tight with their application lube

you should have gotten a little packet in the box...especially if you got them from MWR....well these are just the exhaust manifold studs? locktite would work.... and the tool is a 6 or 8 torx bit...
