The TRUTH about BMW Stud Conversions

Are BMW wheel studs safe? Although it's a relatively simple mod, I usually see people skip this step during the install process and it could could cause the studs to come loose or worse come completely off. So if you're going to install them on your BMW make sure to do it right and keep yourself safe.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when there’s a new Fritz video. Quality content as always man!

@FritzRamos Год назад

Thank you! I hope you have a good day everyday.

@vincentl5363 Год назад

Nice, this is the attention to detail that needs to be encouraged for critical components.

@jcranetx66 Год назад

Great video Fritz. Doing my stud conversion when I replace all brakes and brake rotors this month. Can’t wait.

@FritzRamos Год назад

Right on! 2 birds 1 stone, I'm excited for you.

@AdrianJayeOnline Год назад

Nice one Fritz awesome as usual ! Good pointers and tips

My FIRST "FRITZ-Ramos' RU-vid video.. thank you for your quality, reasoning, professional and detailed presentation. Love the shirt design as well. Just need an F33 version. :)

Thank you! Glad you liked it! Keep up the good work yourself.

@JacesOwnWorld 5 месяцев назад

This is awesome. I can’t imagine how long this job took for you, due to all the cleaning and torching. But the final outcome is 100% worth the time you put into it! Do it right the first time…

Are you going to make a throttle body cleaning video 😅

@DaBinChe 4 месяца назад

A few more things to add. If using Ti nut/bolts, threads has to be anti-seize or they will "cold weld" seize together, especially dissimilar metals. Can't be any anti seize either, cause some type will cause the Ti to crack, I forget which type it was. Last don't use an impact at all cause galling can happen just like Stainless.

@cmongimme Месяц назад

The antisieze that came with my Raceseng ti studs and lugs is the non-metalic type.

@konjiki240sx Месяц назад

Some thread chasers and taps will increase the OD decreasing thread engagement. I would say stick with solvents and cleaners since this is one of the most critical areas on the car...

@DRAZTEC16 Год назад

Hey fritz I have a question , I have a 2015 bmw m235i with the blue calibers it’s the base model I wanted to ask why is my car squeaking very bad, I’m ready to buy the rotors and brake pads it’s just I want to be sure before I make the purchase .

@annihil8ted993 Год назад

Won't re-torquing potentially break the red loctite on the pins? Wheel pins look pretty cool!

@young1855 6 месяцев назад

Did you ever get a answer for this?

@jeremymitchell8470 7 месяцев назад

High temp loctite would be a better choice and you could just use a screwdriver in the vents of the front rotors to hold against the caliper instead of using the bar to hold everything.

@pdvmotorsports Год назад

Great info but you're supposed to let the loctite cure when the wheels on and fully torqued.

@elvisahern3474 Год назад

Given that blue loctite can melt with track heat, doesn't it make sense to avoid the loctite and just plan on making sure they are torqued properly prior to each event?

@JimLake.Junior 5 месяцев назад

He used red ya dingaling

@WalkingUpsideDown 8 месяцев назад

Great video but you didn’t use high temp loctite.. it’s probably all evaporated by now

Holy cow that was a lot of antisieze. Should use the copper stuff.

@hass1005 Год назад

Do you know if we can fit 17inch wheels ? I’ve heard that in some cases it doesn’t clear the brakes.

@ScottPC Год назад

Surly you should of used blue locktite not red? Red can’t withstand the temps whereas blue can.

@Supden90 Год назад

I used 272 which is red and high temp rated.

@KXP70 Год назад

@@Supden90 same here. 272 looks to be better with heat according to the manufacturer's data.

@tehgzizlauw1787 11 месяцев назад

I don't think the strength has anything to do with temperature ratings? You just have to make sure you use a thread locker with a high temp rating

@fiending Год назад

won't your rims be prone to scratches from the stud threads while placing on and taking off the wheel hub?🤔

@SeanD2937 Год назад

What’s the advantage of a stud conversion?

@DigitalDissident 8 месяцев назад

none, it's a dumb gimmick mod that creates a major failure point

@graw1538 Год назад

@Ruben-ef8qm Год назад

One of my studs broke, how can I get the other half out of the hub?

@elvisahern3474 Год назад

You could try putting the alternate facing nuts on an turn the internal nut to free the stud. The loctite will make this harder to do.

@DigitalDissident 8 месяцев назад

no surprise there, stud conversion is a gimmick mod with many downsides

@nonamealx 2 месяца назад

So I am asking the stupid questions hoping to get smart answers: why would you change bolts for studs? Just optics or am I missing something?

@FritzRamos 2 месяца назад

From a functional stand point it's easier to line up, especially on the fronts of RWD cars. Another point would be that you don't need to hold it in place when removing the last lug.

@cmongimme Месяц назад

So much easier to take wheels on and off with studs!

@WhiteVaille Год назад

As an alternative to your ABN sockets, you might give consideration to Ko-ken wheel nut sockets, as they're also very thin-walled, but very well made. Unfortunately, they're just over half the depth, so may not be entirely suitable for your car's setup. Still, maybe worth a look. ChrisCas has a review and comparison of them with a few other common sheathed wheel sockets, though not your ABN sockets specifically. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUkHWuvNH-Y.html

@WhiteVaille Год назад

Could you confirm that the ABN sockets come with sleeves? The description describes them, but none of the product photos show them. As cheap as they are, I might grab a set for the extra depth, if they come with the sleeves.

@FritzRamos Год назад

@@WhiteVaille Thanks for the suggestion. Yes the ABN sockets come with sleeves.

@henloks Год назад

Unfortunately i cant rock something like this due too wheel theft in my area and possibly the studs and bolts 😅😂along with the motor the neighbors dog and a sandwich

@Ryan-dj6tl Год назад

You can get locking wheel nuts too.

@ruleslawyer Год назад

I feel like fussy nuts you can't use an impact on completely misses the point of a stud conversion.

@beavissooqa7585 3 месяца назад

6:58 say 20 Nm, but 3:44 say 20ft/lbs. Where truth?

@meeeeeee518 Год назад

20 ft/lb is enough torque for just the studs? That seems too little

@anonypersona3189 Год назад

That's just putting them on before mounting the wheels. Once you mount the wheels and torque the nuts, that takes care of the studs.

@thebludragon8353 Год назад

I get the attention to detail, the cleaning was great. You lost me once you took out the torch. Heating titanium in air makes it harder and more brittle, it is LESS SAFE in applications like lug nuts, where strength is needed, (titanium is already brittle enough, which is why you cannot impact them). Also, you jacked on the bare plastic without a pad, SMH.

@naten555 Год назад

Stud conversions are just a bad idea for a street car another failure point and another thing to maintain. BMW race cars use them but they are timed out and maintained properly (gt4s). if you have a hard time installing a wheel with lug bolts buy stud alignment tool for $10.
