Pre-Sharpened Ice Racing Studs (Bolts) - 25 pack

These bolts are meant for use with many ice racing organizations in their "spec stud” class. Specs:

• M8x1.25 bolts (metric equivalent to 5/16”)

• 1.25” long

• Class 10.9 (metric equivalent to grade 8)

• Each bolt comes with a custom nylon insert locknut with a wide flange for the outside of the tire.

• No washers required

• Hold the bolt, torque the nut

• Do not exceed 20 Nm

• Do not use an impact gun or you will 100% strip the head of the nut

• Figure out how many studs you’re allowed according to your organization’s rules

• Pick out a tire with well-defined tread blocks; it’ll make creating a pattern easier

• Drill 3/16” holes from outside in for each stud

• Put a dab of urethane windshield adhesive on the end of a stud and use a drill/impact to push it through

• Put a small bead of adhesive all around the outside of the bolt where it comes out of the tire

• Add washer and tighten nut. The washer should squish the tread pretty well on the outside; it should feel pretty darn tight
