Front stud conversion

Post by Shinnster »

Hey all,
Has anyone else fitted the stud conversion?
I've bought front studs and the permanant lock tight stuff but just wondered, how much do I have to put over each stud and how long until the wheels can go on and the vans usable?

Couldn't find anywhere with info about it. Only videos on whats involved.

I put about 1/2 inch up the thread of Loctite on mine and drove it straight away. That was many years ago and had no problems.
