Wheel Studs: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Position a new wheel stud, aligning the serrations in the wheel hub made by the original stud.
- 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.
- Remove the wheel nut and washers.
- Install the brake disc.
- Position the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly and install the 2 anchor plate bolts.
- F250 and F350, tighten to 225 Nm (166 lb-ft).
- F450 and F550, tighten to 400 Nm (295 lb-ft).
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.
NOTE:
Be sure to align index marks made during the removal step.
