Re: Lug nuts - WARNING



I understand your concern lubricating the wheel studs. I have used 
wd-40 and crc-56 (a similar product) for years with no ill effects. I 
am careful not to get it on the rim or the flared surface of the
wheel 
lug, only the threads. I find that it keeps the lugs from "freezing" 
on the stud and it keeps from creating the tiny shards of metal from 
the threads. (they will cause the lug to "freeze" and then you shear 
off the stud when you try to remove it.) ALWAYS torque the lugs and 
recheck after some driving. With alloy rims it is especially 
important, ask Rob Grady, he almost lost a wheel on his green car
once 
with alloy wheels!
