Wheel Studs: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Do not use air tools to install the wheel stud. The serrations in the hub flange can be stripped.
  1. Position the wheel stud in the axle flange, making sure that the serrations are aligned with those made by the original wheel stud.
  2. Position washers and a reversed wheel nut on the wheel stud and tighten the wheel nut until the stud seats on the back of the axle flange.
