One thing on the older Troop, when you're taking wheels on and off be sure not to go crazy with the air tools. It's best to break loose the lug nuts with a breaker bar and then spin them off with air as desired. Also, NEVER run the lug nuts down with an air tool.

Breaking wheel studs is a very common problem on Gen I Troops and using impact tools exacerbates the problem. That's why I don't let tire shops work on mine at all. I just jack the rig up on all fours and take the wheels/tires in for whatever is needed.

Use a dab of anti-sieze compound on each wheel stud and hand-torque to factory specs for the type of wheel you have.

Note that steel wheels and aluminum wheels do have different torque values.

Doing this will go a long ways towards having the aggravation (and blood, sweat, & tears) of changing a busted wheel stud. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
