Question How to Install Wheel Studs on a SA?

Now that i have my rims, and the tires mounted on them... i need to install my wheel studs, because i dont think i can use the lug bolts with the rims.

JD wheels included nuts and the studs, but how do i go about installing them?

Clean the threads on the rotor/hub with brake cleaner and use locktite red stud lock on them. That is what I did on mine, no problems.

i use lok-tite BLUE. it still holds strong, but if you ever need to get them out to put them in another rotor, its alot easier to get out. i believe with the RED, you actually have to heat it up with a heat gun to break it loose. i would use BLUE if i were you. they really dont need to be extremelty tight.
