how thick is the new o-ring you are using? And where did it come from? And part number?

look at this first pic. If the o-ring in this pic is frozen, it will draw closer to the studs. Until it warms back up.

i froze mine last 2 because they were slighly bigger than the groove. The OP posted a pic of his on the wheel. Itdoesnt look big enough to reach the groove. If he freezes his, it will be even smaller.

It looks like you are installing the nuts with an impact gun. If you do that on the first bolts, you may be shaking the o-ring around. I do 24-bolters with a 1/2” drive ratchet and a short breaker bar.

why are you greasing the studs? Dont freeze your o-ring (in pic). Freezing will shrink it. Snd, is it just me or does that o-ring look thin?

If you can torque the nuts down properly, I would leave them in. I replace rusty studs. They are easy to do.

If you just tighten down one bolt fist, then it may push the oring out. I suggest getting 2 regular nuts to fit the studs. When putting the outer half on, tighten those 2 nuts (on opposite studs) evenly down and pull the 2 halves together flat. That will squish the oring all the way around at...

I am only talking about the lugnuts on the HMMWV wheels.

When an impact gun is used to install the nuts, it will distort the threads in the nut. Then, they can be very difficult to remove. New OEM nuts will spin on and off easily when you install and torque by hand.
