Press in captive studs

I have a part being machined that calls for 2 captive studs to be
inserted and thought I'd try to put the studs in myself. They're
stainless, 8/32 about an inch long and require a .163 pocket
(partially drilled hole).
I thought that maybe I could build some sort of jig to keep them
straight and then tap them with a hammer?
OR--
Is there a small accessory or something that maybe I could use with an
arbor or vise? Any ideas?
Need to do them myself to save some time and money.
I fit root nuts & press in studs using a cheap air chisel/air hammer from a
discount autoshop.
I take a standard chisel and turn down the end in the lathe to suit the
fastener.
It works really well, very quick and they bind in much better than hitting
with a hammer.
