Time For a rebuild
Thanks RealWing, you learn something new everyday. I would have never guessed that you would have to REDUCE the amount of torque when you apply anti-seize to a part.
Good to know.
Personally I've never liked screw in studs, I had some adapter plates on a sand-rail and one by one they would pull out.
I'm pretty sure that Willwood's product is superior to the adapters I was using on my sand-rail.
That being said, since you probably won't ever pull the studs out, I'd use red Loctite on the studs, the last thing I want them doing is backing out.
Regards,
