Getting ready to install wheel studs

[cavjock23]

Do i use any lock-tite when I install the new wheel studs?
What is recommended?

I don't have a comment on the loctite.

However, the torque will need to be checked often with new studs as they will elongate.

It should not be necessary but it would not hurt to use loctite red to help the studs stay put. Do not forget that previous to using any threadlocker compound you MUST prep the surfaces. (thorough degreasing) I use brakeKleen and an old toothbrush for this task.

QUESTION: why are you replacing wheelstuds?

 

[cavjock23]

I failed to check lug nuts and my front tire became loose.. Ran a bit and tore the original studs up..

'Sounds like it may be a bit late if you have already bought new parts, but you could buy a thread chase or die and try cleaning up the old ones?

It was real bad.. I had to weld nuts to back out the old studs..
