Talking Re: HELP!! Stripped Lug Bolt?
I have 4 sets of wheels and bolts are DIFFERENT. I have the wheels and studs color coded to get it straight . the wheels will tear up the parking assy if long bolts are used.

For the stud messing up the axle, I installed replacement threads in all 10 holes in the rear.
I used helicoils to restore the threads and did all so there was no question of what is what.

see these, but check the threads, Iam going from memory.

For impact no one seems to notice the control on the bottom of the wrench and if you use it is fine to do wheels but you need to do a 1 or a 2 setting, I use 4 for REMOVAL ONLY.
Starting wheels I use one of my custom bolt studs to hang the wheel, then install 4 bolts then pull-replace the bolt . All bolts hand started 2-3 turns FIRST then alternately torque the lugs.

I also use my POLISHED socket so the it does not dig into wheel, being shiney its obvious which onr to use. These items are in my gallery but it is so big I can not locate the photos now.

Getting redy for Carisle, tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yippie or may be TAAAAA DAAAAA
