    one thing i noticed in a couple of toyota assembly lines in nagoya, all four hubs have one stud bolt at 12 o'clock position. since robots are programmed to place one of the wheel bolt holes at exactly 12 o'clock position, all four tires are installed/torqued in less than four seconds.
    good for assembly lines and such.
    but as i probably remove my wheel once every one to two years siguro..
    "hassle."
    but the info is appreciated.

    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.
