good in a pinch, YET soon as you apply more than the maximum recommended torque to the stud to make it flush, you've damaged it. I've put these studs under Magnaflux testing equipment and have seen the stress cracks. That's probably why the last stud failed.... over torqueing (usually caused by using an impact wrench during installation or rotation of tires). As long as you don't exceed the max torque, this is a super idea. Thanks for posting. Knowledge is king! Keep on learning.
Turn the lugs around and you wouldn't need that crescent wrench unless you're just using it to hold the wheel hub. You should also grease these lugs up with something, WD40 would even be ok, much easier on the lug and stud threads and less friction. Personally I like to use a impact on studs, but years ago when I didn't have one, I just used a breaker bar and a deep well socket. I had a car once that required the hub to be removed to replace studs, no way to get a lug in from the back... royal pain, stupid design steering knuckle.
LOL, great job brah! I didn't even thing about the wrench trick man! I gotta pull 5 lug studs back on my 82 280ZX and I didn't wanna buy any of those special tool either. Thanks man!!!
I put the washers in with the lug nut on the wheel stud as I did not have an air wrench and then I realized I couldn’t get it tighter or loosen it. The moment I saw you put the ranch between the washer in the night I already know what to do, and it actually worked.
You can also use washers and then just turn the lug nut around and use the flat side against the washer works just as well

Is this Africa ?
brilliant! you sir are smarter than most engineers out here.
Straight to the point. Best video on the internet. Thanks man.
You sir, are a genius!
dang, thank you so much for this hack Sir - it worked so well, I returned my $20 unopened special tool I bought from Amazon :D
I use oversized nuts for spacers. For example, if the studs are M12, I use M14 nuts for spacers. And the lug nuts seat properly in the oversized nuts.
thank goodness for the person who invented impact wrenches

I use big washers with grease between them to reduce the friction while installing new studs.
Thanks for the very informative video, I have that exact crescent wrench I will use it!!
Awesome I will be trying this very soon . Really appreciate you sharing this .
Love these type of vids - Thanks
I'm going to try this today ! Thank you my friend 👊😁
Good improv with the adjustable wrench
amazing improvising there buddy!
I learned something here!! Thank you!
