Screw in studs instead of press in studs yeah
Lol, this is how to go the extra mile on those studs 😅
Guess he's doing the same thing on those tires 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao, great comment
diy slicks
Amazing comment
Damn that was great hahahah
Studs cost to much couldnt afford the tyres
Yeah and change the tires!
I caught that too. On the cords.
Same
Needs an alignment too.
I had to do a double take cause they definitely showing wire
I think it's cambered for better corner handling. who knows..
Buddies talking about how important it is to clean stud holes but he doesn’t give AF he’s running his tires through the cords.
It's homemade racing slicks and don't try to upsell him as he knows what he's got
To be fair once you've ran a tire ALL the way down, you kinda get a better feel of how long a tire will really last. The outer tread rubber being gone just means you got about 3 more layers. Lmao
@@MRMONKEY433 LOL!! Yeah, right!
He got you to comment, it's all about that algorithm...
Mabee a little to much positive camber
You worry about lug nuts went you don have enough tires anymore lol see the inside
Yes make sure to have clean threads and a completely bald tire 👍
They are michelin obviously the owner is pretending to be wealthy when he can barely afford to eat
Airoplane tires ,air on the inside plain on the outside.
Glad to see you got the winter tires on in preparation for snow, I heard the cords poking out help in the snow kinda like studded snow tires!
Oh wow I love the DIY camber. Those tires love it so much they're showing their insides to you
I think I’d be changing that tyre before i was worrying about the wheel studs ! 😂
Them tires screamin help😅
He makes sure to polish his tyre treads off so that it's nice and shiny
Don't forget to put locktight 277 on your lugnuts as well .... Hate for them to back off 😂
XD
Every time i change my tires the biggest problem i have is that the lug nuts come off too easy😂
@@jippo91 100ft lbs. no locktite.
And then when you come to remove them you end up winding out the stud
Bro's tires are on life support 💀
Great advice!! Don’t forget to change the tyres!!
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
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.
I was freaking out that I didn’t clean the the threads for my studs when I did them until I remembered mine just slide in from the back and get pressed in.
This is a stud conversion. This car originally used lug bolts. He's converting it to stud and nut.
This video is a real eye opener and makes me realize just how much ive been neglecting my cls550…….but she runs like a top!! Mercedes owners understand…..bmw not so much, they have cousins that own range rovers and pre-ford jags
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.
My boy didn’t like wireless tpms so hes Gone and got the cords out 😂💀
Before he changes his studs I think he needs an alignment and some tires 😂
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.
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.
@@littlejackalo5326 ok, ok, chill Felicia
I chased the threads and used solvents. Used thread lock and haven't had an issue on both vehicles almost 2 years on both. Have rotated tires every few thousands and haven't had any back out
I feel bad for the next mechanic thats gotta take them studs out😳😂
The idea is that they stay on there permanently
@@AchievedZeus574 . . . . indeed sir
Those are really comfortable shoes mine lasted forever
They are! I almost never wear anything else because they're so comfortable.
YOU JUST SHOWED ME A WORKAROUND OF AUDI SKIPPING ON CENTRALISING SCEWS😮😮
Like the tekton split beam! Love mine
It’s also advisable to put some sort of grease on the threads as titanium likes to seize
that's what the loctite is. It's actually anti-seize
That was awesome and very informative!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
1 winter will seize them in there good lol. Yours definitely the ideal way
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. 🤦
Nice now get some tires 🤣🤣
That much red loctite good luck getting those back out lol
A little heat and they will come off just fine.
That's the point
@@homesteadhaven2010 you never used loctite on lug nuts... Of they're torqued to manufacture spec, they'll never come off.
Chasing the threads can make the studs back out easier.
Did it on my crank almost lost my flywheel and clutch.
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.
Were the chords showing on the tire ? Why was it wearing in the inside ?
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.
Yup, could be poor alignment, but I've found alot of wide performance tires will tend to wear like that.
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.
CAM B E R
My studs ain't backing out with all those ugga duggas lad
Everyone knows that 7 ugga dugz is good for *everything*
But take it to 10, just to be safe .
Honestly just send it in there and then go mount and balance the tires for real.
Immediately saw those tires
well done excellent procedures start to finish
U forgot to put oil on the brakes, so they don't rust
The best first mod for a bmw
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.
Pro tip take the rotors off so you don't soak them in degreaser and anti seize.
Just spray it down with brake cleaner after. Problem solved
never forget the rinse
Stick a screwdriver in the holes on the circumference of the rotor. When it hits the caliper you can torque the studs.
Bro literally had me dead 💀 🤣 them wires hanging out 😆
Be a man, and use wheel bolts as the OEM intended! 😄
Yes! Clean threads and use locktite!
My car doesn’t have studs but will keep
This info whenever I got one that does.
dont buy a shitbox german car and yoy wont have this problem
😐
@TrumpsDaddy exactly! learn how to fix cars before u speak
Ok ameriburger.
@@peterpeter5666 Hey u better go back to your burgers instead talking trash on german cars, they are better than any american soapbox in the world dummy. But i can see yall good with trash interriors, trash engines, gearboxes who take ages to shift, cars that weights 4 tons, and i can go on for years. Literally all the best cars arround the nordschleife, which is the most famous circuit among constructors all over the world, are all germans...
@@alexgreg152 ROFL !!!
The most reliable tires out there- Michelin may-pops
Doesn't matter how clean that is you ain't stopping in the rain .
Useful tip! I certainly do this every spring and fall when changing tires to my Astra '04!
Kw suspension. You sir have good taste 👍🏻
Thank you!
@@FritzRamos I had a KW Variant 2 Coilover Kit, but had to sell it due to Life rearing it’s ugly head. Wish I could of just had it on for a Month.
Edit: Said Stage instead of Variant.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how careful this guy was about the studs, but is apparently driving around on some raggedy ass, unevenly worn tires that are showing cords on the inside.
Damn those tyres!!
This guy is so good I never get bored watching him, keep it up man!!!
Thank you! 🙏
That's crazy studs and lugs 😎
I had a tire that looked just like that with wires showing and had a flat not long after that. It was on a Sunday and there was not a single tire shop open except one! I got lucky that day but please change that tire ASAP!
Way 'over the top' in every "mx&part way". But, he's right. Clean work.
I have been driving for over 25 years and have only ever cleaned the rims and that's it. I have never had any issues at all. And then they only get cleaned once every 6 months or when I can be bothered.
if anything this will make your studs pop out
Bro lmao Fritz I searched up this video and found your video omg I didn’t know you had a YT 😂
Lock tight has a primer you should put on the parts before applying the lock tight adhesive.
yeah I had to rewatch it cuz he's straight showing belt on those tires, homie needs to switch those up lol
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
New tires and alignment
I don't know why everyone is mentioning the tyres.
Maybe he just put those wheels on for demonstration?
Either way, very good quality work with the stud conversion mate
Thanks! Well they needed to be replaced, but I wasn't going to wait to reshoot that part until the new tires came in. Surprisingly the comments are increasing engagement so I guess it's a good thing lol.
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.
Dude your tire is in very Good condition
Instead of someone on the breaks or a pry at just buy a little metal bar and stick it between the breaks and the openings in the rotor it comes in handy while doing this and if you haven to take an axel out.
Should do a video about not driving cars with the tire showing the chords lmao
Have had many difficult improvising times taking those studs out either due to having to do a wheel bearing or swapping out spacers.
IMO, don't lock tite these things. Make em tight by hand with the Allen. Putting the wheels back on will lock everything up. Ain't never had a problem for many years now.
What the hell you got wheel stud conversion but you have bold tires with core showing??? Hell yeah 🤘
Chris Fix here!
Lol and the customer won't mind paying extra... 😆
Someone need a wheel alignment
Honestly never done this with any of my cars and not going to start anytime soon. Your wheels aren't going to fall off.
The only thing with doing this is there bolted in studs from factor are always pressed from the rear of the hub and have a mushroom area that won’t allow the stud too work lose might look good but I wouldn’t be happy doing this plus sticking with oem equipment means insurance claims can’t be disputed due too aftermarket parts
I've never done any of those steps but I definitely make sure my tyres haven't got cord showing 😆
I just lube the thread and had no problem with any of that.
I prefer a good coating of grime & oil, called dipship rustproofing
Omg I can see the belts on those tyres!
He put the red stuff on it..... that's that "I'm not coming off ever" stuff haha
Yo to stop the rotors from spinning when torquing the wheels put a flat head in between the air fins on the rotors and it will wedge against the caliper and stop it from rotating
I always clean studs everytime removing a wheel
Oh my God you're down to the cords on those tires bro
Speaking of threads 🧵
Boi is worried about studs backing out when his front tires have wires showing😂
Nice tires bro
Having tires that aren't bald is a little more important then going coocoo on bolt holes.
Beautiful Work
Talk about foot on the brakes and show foot on the the gas nice job!
Yeeeeaaa shops aren't gonna be this thorough lol
Wheel studs are the last of your concerns, change those tires 😂
Those tires tho😂😂
Those tires are holding on for dear life
Everyone talking about the tires but ignoring when he called a tap a ‘thread chaser’
My dirt floor assembled car lookin over likeee
Put a screw driver in the side of the rotor as you are tightening the studs
This is a great product but a word By experience: Some of them have a brake shoe system inside the rotor. This thread chaser penetrant is detrimental to those brake shoes. Stay safe track rats🔥

I saw the wire on that tire
