Not fun is it? I did mine on launch though. We are very lucky it happened when ours did!

I think the compressor tightens them much more than the 4 way. Two months ago, me and a neighbor had a HELL of a time taking the wheels off after the tire shop mounted them.

Can't explain what happened, I was only on my drag radials and only making motor passes, so it wasn't a power issue for sure! Sucks.

I believe Moser uses the stock sized studs when you buy the rear end specifically for 93-02 F-Bodies.

I thought you were answering the question of "Has anyone had a problem with that?"
And your reply ment to me that you had broken both.
It was funny to me
