If you are I psycho like me, carefully grind down the thicker stud and cut the correct
threads with a die.
i cant see the damage so cant say.
but then again, I didnt mike, it
the hole must undamaged, the new stud must be pressed in with a huge press.
his is not nut strip
his is not stud snap
it's the hub stripped out , means huge damage there. Im sure the owner will tell later, after wheel is off. (there is no limits to damage in the real world only looking matters and mick'ing it. (calipers gauge)
but down south they have cars with 5 studs, and all 4 wheels are missing one NUT, seen 10,000 like that in south america
reason is they keep the 4 as spares, as they are so hard to find there. (nuts) even most taxi cab there like that.
so , 4s cool there.
spec, is this, so M14s is next size up.
M12-1.25 Serrated Wheel Stud; 12.45mm Knurl; 37.5mm Length
doing it wrong, and it next tire store from H3LL its it with 200ft/lbs it strips again and wheel stuck on,
I always tell them they must hand torque them after using 50lbs first. or i WALK
some states this is now law, (after killing drivers,) many cars if you over torque it the brake rotors warp and guess what, dead drivers, or worse.
when they lock up.
lucky for us this dont happen with our hubs
