Is there a painless way to replace a nose stud?

I have had my nose pierced for over a year now and every time I replace the stud (nose bone) it hurts like crazy. Today I have tried to push the stud in and it hurts so bad I dont know if I can! Is there a way maybe, to lube it so it pushes through easily?Is there a painless way to replace a nose stud?
if i were you after you have taken your nose stud out i would use some Vaseline(petroleum jelly) and i would rub some into where the hole is, i would also put some onto the stem of the new stud too, that way you may find that it slips through the hole a lot more easily. hope this helps.
