im assuming home depot or such would rent out an impact gun or am i wrong?

you could do it with a regular long bar socket wrench, but you would need a helper stepping on the brakes and your muscles would get really tired.
The ends of the bolts are knurled, and are normally pressed into the hub. When you install them after initial assembly, they are pulled in with the impact wrench, or you could pull them in the same way manually, but you are putting a the stud into a slighly smaller hole, hence the getting really tired part.

Any experience w/an impact gun? I'll probably tackle it later today....but have never used one. They self explanatory?

you need a compressed air source to run one, other than that, its fairly self explanatory.
