I use the 'double-nut' technique on the stud, that is, two clean, new, dry nuts that are tightened together with two box-end wrenches until 'snug' ... then, the outer nut is used to drive the stud into the head until the nuts start to slip on the stud. I leave a box end wrench 'dangling' inside the inner nut while the stud is being installed, preferring not to be forced to use an open-end wrench for removing the nuts after the stud is installed!
