  2. NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 4) to allow the wheel stud to fully seat against the hub flange.

    Place 4 washers over the outside end of the wheel stud and thread a standard wheel nut with the flat side against the washers. Tighten the wheel nut until the wheel stud seats against the back side of the wheel extension.
