A little tip for installing studs that was is to lube all of your washers as well as the nut. That way there is less resistance and reducing the risk of damage to the threads of the stud.
Yeah you could- only concern I would have is if the lug nuts have the conical seat (acorn style) they might wedge themselves between the washer and stud which could bind the nut and ruin it or break the stud. If you have an extra lug nut laying around you could grind the taper flat and use it that way but I wouldn't use the tapered end as is. Thanks for watching!
I did on that one but I ended up keeping the original bolt pattern for the build. Decided I want to keep off-the-shelf parts for when I break something 😉
OMG!! I was on my way out to Harbor Freight to buy an arbor press for $$ and I saw your video!!! What a Godsend! Thanks!
You are a genius, thank you so much I would never thought of that. This saved me a lot of time.
Glad it helped you out! Far from a genius but I've learned a few tricks over the years haha. Thanks for watching 👍

Yeah I forgot to mention it while filming but my washers and the nut were sprayed with wd40 to keep everything nice and slippery haha. Good catch!
WebWheeler me personally I would use a heavy weight oil or grease. But that’s just my personal preference.
thanks bud. im gonna attempt this with hand tools now heh heh heh... gotta get my car back on the road so i can make it to work monday!
If you have enough washers underneath couldnt you just use the actual wheels lug nut to press it down? Dont have nuts that are the right size

@@WebWheeler good point didnt think of that thank you

How to do this without using a lug nut since that just tears up the nut
Don't use lug nuts- just buy a grade 8 nut that matches your stud thread. Otherwise you'll need to press them in
airhammer is faster then the press
Which is great if you have an air hammer. If you don't...
