[@paulzumpf3612]

This is a stud conversion. This car originally used lug bolts. He's converting it to stud and nut.

[@misteraxeman2680]

I've removed thousands of wheels without cleaning the threads. Not a single one has had the bolts back off. But this guys an armchair expert

[@benjaminwright8951]

The bolts are more likely to stay tight with messed up threads. A crossthread is stronger than a weld. But i appreciate the attention to detail. Lol.

[@coyotehd816]

That was awesome and very informative!

[@FritzRamos]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

[@kw2519]

That was sound advice. Most people don’t realize that if you have oil on your threads, when you tq them down, the oil fills the gaps and increases the tq reading. Then over time, the oil seeps out of the threads and reduces the pressure and in turn reducing the tq tightness of the thread. Leading to a wheel coming off. So he is 100% correct, this is not over kill. It’s just doing it correctly.

[@ptvrussian2]

The cleaning process is really one of those things that you don't need to do but just gives you satisfaction and piece of mind.

[@littlejackalo5326]

Wrong. Please don't insert your uninformed opinions somewhere where some other muck muck could confuse it as fact. If you aren't well versed in thread locker use, nobody wants your opinion.

Everyone knows that 7 ugga dugz is good for *everything* But take it to 10, just to be safe .

[@williamsanders468]

Honestly just send it in there and then go mount and balance the tires for real.

[@jamesjohnson6239]

Were the chords showing on the tire ? Why was it wearing in the inside ?

[@cone7073]

Looks like it. It’s caused by a bad alignment. Wearing on the inside of the tire is caused by having negative camber, when the top of the wheel is tilted towards the inside of the car. More than likely this is because he lowered his car, which naturally adds more negative camber if everything else is kept the same.

[@nathanaeleckstein914]

Yup, could be poor alignment, but I've found alot of wide performance tires will tend to wear like that.

[@mad1337nes]

That's how all tires wear on bmws, due to the camber. Can't see it unless you've got it up in the air or taking off wheels. Pretty sketchy doing 60-130 rolls all day, and noticing when doing an oil change the next.

[@benjaminsilvert1880]

Pro tip take the rotors off so you don't soak them in degreaser and anti seize.

[@billyyank5807]

Just spray it down with brake cleaner after. Problem solved

[@Crazylegs650]

It’s also advisable to put some sort of grease on the threads as titanium likes to seize

[@shiftdnb]

that's what the loctite is. It's actually anti-seize

[@relentlessblvd8404]

Bro literally had me dead 💀 🤣 them wires hanging out 😆

[@user-so4fc4nz1o]

When I need to change my front rotors the studs come off with it and you get to have the fun of cleaning and repacking the front bearings.

[@danielbrealey2924]

I find this so funny! Admittedly, I'm a mechanic with a couple of decades experience- I always used to chuckle at people's tendency to believe the marketing hype about German engineering being of higher quality than anyone else's... Yet the have love for WHEEL BOLTS! What the heck is going on THERE? We all know a stud and nut do a better at clamping than bolts. Wheel bolts make roadside tyre changes a nightmare for their customers and are more likely to come lose than a stud and nut... Someone tell my WHY we all put German engineering on some kind of pedestal that it doesn't deserve to be on. 🤦

[@fyodorshestakov6462]

My dad taught me that every time you change the wheel, it wouldn't hurt to spray some WD-40 on the threads and clean them with metal brush, and then spray again before putting the bolts back. It's cheap and easy thing, and i always do that

Don’t forget that lubricants influence final torque spec.

[@farmerboyfpv3637]

Stick a screwdriver in the holes on the circumference of the rotor. When it hits the caliper you can torque the studs.

[@randomgooglename]

Nice tires bro

[@SiliconvalleyVC]

Another really good way to hold the rotor from spinning is to insert a thick screwdriver thru the rotor vent and have it sit against the rotor.

when you use loctite, it should go on both the fastener and the threads on the other end, that way it forces the loctitite all the way through both sets of threads and all the way around the fastener
