How do I remove a wheel stud that was installed with loctite?
Hi guys. I need to replace a damaged wheel stud on my car that was installed with loctite (i forget which color I used, red?). I don't want to just start unscrewing it with the hex because of the loctite and possibility of stripping. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here is a trick...
Take 2 nuts....put one on, rhen a second on, right up to the first, will act like a jamnut...then just wrench it off...a bit of heat will soften the locktite.
if you remove the studd this way you will not destroy the allen heads on the end, and they can be reused...but it is also musch easier since a wrech is easier to hold, and longer!!

Use a wrench to hold the first nut towards the outside end of the stud and tighten the second not down onto the first nut. Once those two are snug against each other then use the inside nut to loosen the entire stud. If the first attempt just loosens the nuts instead of the stud, tighten the nuts some more and try again.
