Default Re: Wheel Studs

I actually pre-loaded them before mounting the wheels. I had previously used and impact gun, going in several circles before torquing them. Same as what I had done since learning on a set of Super Tricks back in the day (helping on another stocker of course). Should have known better, to trust my own judgment. But stupid me, I listened to some street stroke watching me who said "oh man, you're going to warp your wheels that way...you should NEVER do that...and 80 lbs is overkill"..

Yes, I'll replace ALL studs before next outing.
