Re: DIY: Wheel stud replacement
the original poster said he "gouged 2x" wheel studs...does that mean he messed up a few threads?
I had a few that were "boogered up" pretty badly - threads missing and trashed.
I went to the local parts store, bought a 12x1.5 die and ran it down to the base of all my wheels studs - all lugnuts go on smoothly now and torque down just fine.
The previous owner(s) had used wheel spacers and the lugnuts weren't grabbing enough threads. I removed the spacers and cleaned up the studs...now all is good. I also bought a set of lug nuts with shoulders that extend through the wheel to grab more threads.
