Wheel Studs: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1.

NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 4) to allow the wheel stud to fully seat against the hub flange.

Position the wheel stud in the flange, making sure the serrations on the stud line up with the serrations in the flange. Install the washers and a reversed wheel nut.

2.

NOTE: Do not use power tools to install the wheel stud or damage to the flange may occur.

Tighten the wheel nut until the stud is seated against the hub flange.
