In the autoX community, its a lifesaver with such frequent wheel changes. Prior to using a little antiseize, the treads would eventually wear out and gall up, typically breaking the stud when you tried to remove the nut. We'd have to replace nuts and studs more than yearly otherwise. |
The threads gall up from the wheel being dragged across them. Don't do that and you won't have issues.
No offense...but you're doing it all wrong. You can use your torque wrench to take off the nuts but your putting a lot of wear on an expensive and calibrated tool.
I follow my routine above except I use a battery impact on my lugs with an 80-88 ft/lb torque stick. I only pull out the torque wrench to do 1 torque check. Never had a wheel stud issue.
