Hi
When you guys have changed a wheel stud, how did you get the new one to pull through the hub far enough ?
I put the stud in, put the wheel on and did the nut up on the specific stud, to pull it through. Only problem is, it's not pulled it through as far as the other three studs are ?! It's probably around 6 threads to short.
I only tightened the wheel nut up to around 80 lbs/ft and backed it off, then repeated. Finally torquing the nut to 75 lbs/ft.
I've read a better way is to use an impact gun on the wheel nut, with washers for spacers between the wheel nut and the hub flange face... Seems like a good idea but, I don't have an impact gun and don't fancy stripping the front brake down at a garage...
