anti sieze

[LS6 Tommy]

That reminds me of something I read a LONG time ago- I don't remember when or where, most likely at the Chevy dealership I worked at. Anyway, the article was about how many aftermarket chrome lugs gall & seize on the studs because they're standard lugs that have just been chromed, which changes the thread depth & spacing. The article even mentioned that of you look at OEM chrome lug nuts, the threads aren't chromed.

Thanks Tommy as always I appreciate your help.

Let me ask you this, is it ok to NOT pull the axels out and just install new studs and pull them through with a air gun or maybe with a regular ratchet or fourway to be easier on the treads , or should the axels be removed and the studs pressed in at a shop.

A lot of questions I know but I want to get it as right as I can.
