The Wheel Stud Installation Kit includes everything you need to install any of our BMW-specific wheel studs. Not everyone needs these parts so we offer them separately, for those that do.

The Wheel Stud Installation Kit consists of:

• One 5.5mm hex drive Allen Wrench, Long L style. This will fit any wheel stud Vorshlag sells
• One 2mL tube of Vibra-Tite anaerobic "Permanent" red threadlocker (equivalent to Loctite). This is enough to do several installations.
• One 2 gram tube of Loctite C5-A Anti-Seize.
  

Obviously the red threadlocker is used to bond the screw in wheel stud to the wheel hubs - just a drop is needed on the shorter "hub side" of your wheel studs. Once cured it will keep the stud from backing out when you are removing lug nuts at the track. Sometimes heat is needed to help break the bond when removing a wheel stud from an old wheel hub (a torch is helpful). The anti-seize is used on the "lug nut side" of your wheel studs. Again, a drop every few months applied to the outer section of threads will keep the lugs going on and off the wheel studs nicely as well as providing the proper torque specifications without any added "sticktion".

Note: the Allen wrench is used to install the wheel stud but NOT TO REMOVE them.
Use the double-nut technique to remove any previously installed screw in wheel stud!
