Thanks for all of the replys on my breaking wheel stud problem. I may have just
over torqued them. My shop manual states 48 ft-lbs, but everyone else is saying
40. The wheels are flat and flush and the studs only break on the front wheels
with sticky rubber on (i.e. R1s). I also go through U joints quite frequently
on the rear, but this has been a frequent problem on all of my other Europas
when used heavily for auto-x events (seams like the U joints gives up before the
wheel studs on the rear).
I replaced the studs again (this time wheels torqued to 40) - Let's see if
this fixes the problem.
Again, Thanks.
