i had my skunk 2 studs installed about 2 months ago. after it was installed, it was kind of loose but, i couldn't say anything since someone did the favor for me. it has gotten a lot looser so, i tried to tighten it by tightening the lug nut all the way down. when i did that, the stud stripped from the back and would turn everytime i turned the lug.

so, would replacing the stud with another skunk that i have help? can this be repaired? thanks.

 

If you can get it off, yes, replacing it should cure it. Make sure the new one is pressed in this time...

should i stick with the skunks or get another set of extended wheel studs?

 

skunk2 has great studs... that was not the correct method of tightening the stud is why it stripped.

 

yeah, that's why it was stripped. but, mainly because it wasn't inserted in correctly when it was seperated and pressed.

 

arp makes them now you can get a set of 5 at summit for 11 bucks
ive heard many of horror stories about teh skunk2s so i got teh arp's
thanks

what is the length of the ARP's? does anyone know if i stripped the grooves on the hub as well if the stud turns with the lug?
