[s-cars] Bolts to studs

Pretty easy actually....  You need 20 studs (porsche dealer has them) 4 wheel
bearings.  Make sure you have a machine shop press in the studs, if you get
this wrong, it costs a hub (dealer only 270USD per), as well as, a wheel
bearing to replace.  If you use studs, I'd suggest use of some sort of
lubricant (WITH a K correction factor) since studs are known to spin if the
nut gets buggered.  Any servicing costs you hub removal and a wheel bearing
minimum.  You might want to give Ingo a post before you consider this
modification Jolly.  Once you decide to do this, you are committed to the
tune of over 1200USD to "put it back".  That buys a LOT of routine new wheel
bolt replacements.

Hi,
Anyone in the group converted from lug bolt to stud/lug?  How did you do it,
etc.?
