Tightening them on by hand, thought it was tightening fine, but stud started spinning. All I can imagine is that the splines on the back side of the stud have not engaged the disk.
The splines do not engage the disc, they engage the axle flange. Sounds like you have the wrong stud, or a wallered out hole.
Can you get to the back side of the stud at all? Since you were only hand tightening it you might be able to pry on the backside enough to unthread the nut.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
