▀▄ eas | DIY: Macht Schnell - Competition Stud Conversion Kit Installation

Step 1
Jack up the vehicle and secure it on jackstands.Unbolt the lug bolts.


Step 2
Remove wheel from hub.


Step 3
Remove wheel and clean hub of all dirt and/or surface rush with a wire wheel to ensure a clean and flush surface. [optional]


Step 4
Apply loctite onto the end of the studs and hand tighten the studs onto the hub.





Step 5
Use an allen wrench to completely tighten the studs onto the hub.


Step 6
Put your wheel back on and torque down the wheel locks. Repeat for the other three wheels.

This is how it will look finished without the wheel on it yet(also has a spacer on it)



Enjoy!

Very nice! Surely makes changing wheels a lot easier!

It sure does! In regards to torque specification, it is the same as the lugs torque spec. You can do this ahead of time or as you torque down your lugs onto the studs

How big of a spacer can be ran with this setup? I'm looking into the Macht Shnell Kit 18/12mm spacers Will this be safe for DD usage?

You can run up to a 12mm spacer on the studs. 18mm won't work with these.
