Got the studs installed to the hubs and drums, first time ever doing that, it went pretty smoothly I think. Just used a nice thick washer and put a good amount of anti-seize on the threads, and cranked it down with my largest ratchet (2 foot handle). The last few pulls were pretty darn tight, and by the 8th lug or so, I was getting tired, haha! 1 beer per hub ![Smilie](https://myjeeprocks.com/forums/core/images/smilies//smile.gif)
So, now it's time to pop these suckers back on! Anyone know the procedure for torquing the large hub nuts? They weren't really on there very tight, so I assume it was something like torque it snug to seat the bearing, then back off 1/8th of a turn or something? Then just get the the 2nd hub nut snug?
And here's those king pin cap covers.
