[s-cars] Studs and Nuts! for OZ Supperlegarra Wheels

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Well, try installing the studs without some kind of locktite, driving
tthrough a winter slurry of salt and snow and then trying to remove them
(the studs)... Yeah, I did that -- and wasted the better part of Sunday to
get them off...  Locktite also seals out moisture....
