Fitting wheel studs?

Want to fit set of BW front studs.

Best way of putting them in?  Have read about using loctite. Cool with that. 

Ideas of getting them in as tight as possible? Only got the shortest version. Was thinking of getting a standard wheel nut and cutting the radius part off so I just have a big fuck off nut of right thread/size. Then putting a second nut on with the radius on the outside and using two spanners to lock one nut against the other.

Sound ok?

Alternatively set of narrow/long nose molies but not sure if I would get the purchase on them.

Ideas?

Oh, what grade of loctite?

	Your way sounds good. I just double nutted with two standard wheel nuts and a spanner/socket combination. Can't remember what grade loctite I used but it seems to have worked. Edited by Titus A Duxass - 14 Jul 14 at 05:38

	A bit of loctite 243 should do the trick
