That's great news, but I still have to double nut the existing ones to get them out. I over-torqued them on installation and used imitation red Loctite. I used to think they needed to be torqued to 60 foot-lbs but now hear they only need 20-30 foot-lbs to install (one site said only 16 foot-lbs). Over-torquing history is another reason to replace them with new ones.
The instructions for the Turner Motorsport wheel studs and they said don't use the allen wrench to remove studs installed with red thread locker. Maybe that rule doesn't apply if you uninstall with heat.
BUMP :D
Wheel stud conversion???
I say yes!!!! Do it
I'd be interested in a black set of these. Ones that are meant for stock setup without spacers.
I was under the impression he didnt have 44mm black studs? I believe those are the ones hes referring to
