I use yard sticks with a hole in the middle, and a tape measure for alignments.
1. Slide the yardstick w/ hole over a wheel stud, hand tighten nut onto yardstick.
2. Center wheel stud over top of hub, level the yardstick.
3. Measure the radius of your tire size out from the hole on each side.
4. Get the measurement at the front and back to be the same (0 toe in)
5. Install TRE's. Measure...

I would think that it should be self explanatory once you get the hubs aligned...

Are you using weld-in inserts or threading the rods on a lathe?
