wheel stud install question
The damn front wheel keeps spinning when I try to torque the stud.
What is the proper way to keep the hub from spinning around other than having someone hold the brake pedal? THanks! |

I actually just threaded the studs hand tight then held one of the studs to keep the hub from spinning as I torqued them. Turner recomends torquing to 16ft lbs so yeah you don't need much torque at all.

Not sure if this is a bad idea, but depending on the type of studs you are installing, you may be able to do it without taking the wheel off or jacking the car up.
Just replace one wheel bolt with a stud at at time. You should be able to just take a wheel bolt out and stick a wheel stud in it's place. If you're studs have the hex hole in the end of it, you can tighten them up with an allen key. |

Hell no. The most I've seen is 30ft-lbs, but most recommend 16ft-lbs.
