DIY: E9X M3 Wheel Stud Install
Just put together a short video to show wheel stud installation on an E9X M3. I already have Stoptech brakes installed but the process is basically is basically the same for stock brakes. Please comment.....I tried a different video format.
The studs are bullet nose studs from Turner. I really like the setup. It will be especially handy when I switch back to summer wheels and tires. |

Why did you take the rotors off?
You can install without that step..

Not sure why... they thread in just like your wheel bolts.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a jerk with the questions and comments. I do appreciate you taking the time to post this DIY vid, but I was concerned that the level of complexity would scare some other noobs away from trying this themselves. As a track rat I have done this job many times. One safety note..... Its hard to tell from your vid, so I'll assume that the floor jack at the front wheel was replaced with another jack stand? Regarding the tap to chase the threads.....
FWIW here is my normal procedure. Prep work
Installation
Put your wheels back on and your done. It takes more time to jack the car, place on stands, re&re the wheels than it does to actually install the studs. .

I have done some studs that don't have well defined stops on them and could be driven in too far -- these were not very high quality studs. I have also installed some studs into hubs that aren't perfect and could not tell how far in they were with the rotor installed because they weren't going in well and I did not have a thread chaser.
