How to get this off????

[Sepiroth]

Are you using a wrench. Man I hope not, if you are youre in for a world of hurt. Use a breaker bar and deep wall 7/8 socket.

This was gonna be my next response.

Sure it was, lol.

I was minus the vidoe part. I noticed in the pic he had the nut in with the flange towrds the axle. should've run the flat side of the nut. It shouldn't take soo much pressure to pull these babies thru.

 

[Sepiroth]

Thats how Ive always done em. But, I NEVER used a wrench to do so.

I'm about to get back to it in about 30mins..think I got it now with the flat side of the nut instead of a washer

you need washers, greese and the lug nut... granted I used to do it with my impact gun but you should be able to do it by hand also. you just need to reduce friction

 

[Sepiroth]

lol, Your Z28 is gonna have a really BIG sister.

I think it would but damn if I'm gunna put more force on em...I thinks that's what caused me to strip that one out...dunno?

[Sepiroth]

Yea what caused the other one to strip out was the use of the wrench and opposing forces. I mean you're trying to draw the stud in while at the same time trying to use the knurls as a hold down while twisting the lug nut on. Two forces and somethings gonna give.

IMHO, an impact and some air pressure would have made the job go way way easier. But, in a pinch, what are you gonna do.

It would be wise to not drive too far when you reinstall your wheels. Install your wheels then after about a days driving, but no more than 50 miles, check the torque of the lug nuts. Pay special attention to the studs you replaced.

 

[BOSS]

What torque? 130-140??

Remember I have some "light weight" 24s

 

[Sepiroth]

I go 100ft lbs.

Figured it out BTW. You MUST use washers that will fit the entire length of the stud. The stud gets thicker at the end after the threads (see video) and the flat side of the nut almost can pull the stud through till that thick end starts poking through. What happens is the nut pushes up against the thick part of the stud coming through, and the thick part obviously has no threads but the nut gets stuck on the thick part before you thread out.

NOW I AM A STUD GURU LOL!!!
