Stud/Stad/Lug Nuts Corrosion

**dalandan27** · September 17th, 2011 09:29 PM

Good day mga sir,
lately nung nag kalas kami ng gulong ko para mag paint ng brake calipers eh ang hirap tanggaling ng mga lugnuts ko, as in sobrang ganit na gumamit pa kami ng tubo na parang nag kakalas ng lugnuts sa jeep.. after nung natanggal namin lahat.. we found out na puru kalawang na pala ang lug nuts at ung stud ba tawag don? yung 4 na turnilyo po..attach ko yung pic

ganyan po..
now ang question ko eh anong pwede kong ipangtanggal diyan? pwede ba ang WD40? o dangerous yun? should i replace my lugnuts na po?

SiR 99 nga pala po ang ride ko,
thanks po sa mga makakahelp..

TIA!

lugnuts and stud bolts have always been the neglected part. before installation of the wheel, it is recommended to apply a light dab of anti seize compound or wheel bearing grease to the stud bolt threads and the hub where the aluminum wheel reacts with the steel hub and seize. this simple procedure takes care of the difficulty or removing the tire/wheel removal from the car and prevents the stud bolts from rusting and "welding" itself to the lugnuts

thanks for the reply sir, would you give me a brand dun po sa tinutukoy nio na anti seize compound or wheel bearing grease na mabibili sa ace or suking shop, and will it be safe naman kaya po? kasi di ba parang dudulas siya eh baka on higher speed eh mag loose dahil sa dulas. and san ko po ba siya mismo iaaply? dun ba sa apat na parang turnilyo? stud bolts? im planning to buy a new set of lugnuts na din.

any NLGI 2 wheel bearing grease will do. apply sparingly on the threads of the stud bolts and around the hub where the brake rotor fits around and the wheel fits around. this will also make removal of the brake rotors for resurfacing aside from ease of wheel removal in case of tire problems. there had been myths that the lug nuts loosen up while the car is in motion, this is not true as long as you properly install the wheel and install and torque the lug nuts in sequence.

Yes sir lagyan mo lang ng grease yan, pero sa itsura nya mas ok kung lagyan mo na muna ng rust converter, para matangal din yung mga kalawang at saka mo lagyan ng grease, pag maghigpit ka ng mga lugnut medyo alalay lang wag sobrang higpit

sir ano po bang brand or yung mismong name na sinasabi nio na rust converter? siya ba yung magtatanggal sa kalawang? open end kasi yung lugnuts ko, and balak ko sprayan ko na lang muna ng WD40 tapos saka ko kakalasin and then saka ko lagyan ng grease, at ok lang ba na WD40 ang gamitin? or suggest pa po kayo ng mga pwedeng pantanggal ng kalawang..

It is best to avoid the use of a burnishr for rust protection of lug nuts and studs. In general, the application of an anti-seize compound or grease specific to wheel bearings is recomended before installing the wheels. These products act effectively by preventing seizure betwen the aluminum wheel and the steel hub. Using a burnisher may not provide the same specific protection, so it is advisable to follow standard recommendations to ensure efective preventio of rust and assembly issues.
