Bolt on wheel lug nut torque specs

PostPost by: Wolfman » Tue Sep 17, 2024 6:26 pm

The car’s always had standard steel wheels with no spacers…at least since picking it up in ‘78, waiting to get restored until 2003, and then ever since ;)

The studs are the same length as the new ones I got from Dave Bean, though there is a single shorter one on one of the fronts.

A ball joint press tool (U shaped one) as mentioned will be the next thing I try, carefully.

A plate of suitable thickness secured on the remaining 3 studs, then tightened pressing the broken stub. Then a light tap with a hammer whilst loaded.

C clamp with a socket around the stud head. You'll need a clamp without a swivel pad though.

Or a air hammer?

Ball Joint separator tool did the trick, nice and easy. Then flipped to bring the new stud into place.
