    @D1G1TALSYNAPS3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good video, only thing I would say, is that going extra is not safe. You pass the elastic stretch of the bolt.

  • @williamhargrove2215
    @williamhargrove2215 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Good info. To make it easier to thread on the nuts, put the nuts on first, then cut the studs. File the cut, then unthread the nut. I would caution on two points:
    First; Cross tightening pattern - snug the first nut then the one that is 180 degrees from it (number 4 of 6). Then move to lugs 2 and 5 then 3 and 6. For the eight bolt: 1 (of 8) and 5 (of 8), then 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8. This will seat the adapter flush then keep proper pressure on the hub.
    Second; The torque setting is not just for the minimum amount of pressure. It is the minimum and maximum. Those adapters are made of aluminum. Even on the iron materials, you can over pressure the threads and they can strip out or stretch. Over-torquing the screws or studs can cause serious failures in the devices and will release the manufacturer of any liability if you have a failure. When torquing down the nuts, screws, or studs, make sure that you go to the "click" and stop. Don't give it more. That over-torques the threads.

    • @2006gtos
      @2006gtos 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Ls Swap Guru swap out the eight lug studs for some ARP studs. Always throw slug or bolt on before cutting threads. When you rake the lug off it will clean the threads. Start using a star pattern to torque down wheels. Two passes and don’t overtoque. Keep up them swaps coming.
