[DeTomaso] Spinning wheel stud

How much do you torque your lugs?  I have aluminum Campy clones and done torque them any more than 75 lbs.

Yes. I’m using my electric impact gun.  3 lug nuts came off ok. 2 remain spinning.  I’ve take my wheels off probably more than most people. Maybe I just wore the wheel studs out with fatigue

Hi Sean,
Did you try loosening your spinning lug nuts with a proper air gun?
Just a thought...
Cheers Bjoern

   My weekend project was to remove my rear wheels and check my rear brake
   pad wear.  Oops, 2 of the pside lug nuts just spin and won't loosen
   up.  It looks like the studs are spinning and stripped.  First I have
   to figure out how to get the lug nuts off. Drilling?  I replaced the
   rear bearings over 10yrs ago so I know what a PITA removing the hub is
   going to be..  Assume I will need rear disk replacement so what are my
   affordable options?  I've spent a lot of time searching the forum for
   info but its a bit overwhelming.  Sean M _______________________________________________
