tweetyduck Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 So here's the evidence. All good using the existing studs and new wheels from Paddocks ANR4583PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Works on yours simply because it has rear disc brakes, so doesn't have the extra thickness of the brake drum to worry about like my '89 110 has, I've never had a loose wheel nut in over 12 years of having my XD/Wolf wheels fitted.

tweetyduck Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 So is the problem only usually the rears? anyhow hopefully this will make it a little easier for someone else in future. Thanks for all the help everyone. Now all i need is 6 tyres swapping over.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 only on drum braked 90/110's, not that much of a problem though. good job Neil, pictures show the stud/nut diemensions very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 That makes sense then. My fronts are how Ralph's picture shows way up/back there. With a couple of threads short in the nut. on the rear (replacement RRC axle) however, the studs are nice and flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw01 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Asked the same on EMLRA, got this reply ( after I had changed all my studs for the long 60mm ones). I see no reason that it's not a genuine reply, but I have not personally seen the instruction. AESP 2320-D-122-811 MODIFICATION INSTRUCTION No. 36:- INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 The decision has been made to carry out a campaign change of the DEFENDER wheel rim to the DEFENDER(HS)WOLF wheel rim, in complete vehicle sets (qty 5). 1.2 The DEFENDER used a tubeless (7.50x16) tyre fitted with an inner tube on a tubed type rim. The tyres currently in use on the vehicle can be changed over to the new tubless rim utilising a 'snap-in' rubber valve. Due to the heavier construction of the replacement rim, the wheel nut torque has been increased to 170 Nm (125lb ft) to compensate for this. Replacement wheel brace to be demanded and placed with CES to cope with increased wheel torque. Securing the wheel nuts as described is technically safe and road legal, even though the wheel stud does not protrude all the way through the nut. Well, there you have it . The increase in wheel nut torque is most important (so important that Modification Instructions include for a data plate to be fitted to the instrument binnacle cover, centrally above the fuel gauge, advising of revised wheel torque). The replacement wheel brace is the standard Wolf type :NSN 7XD 5120 99 817 1229 (LANDROVER Pt No. NTC 7829) Hope this comes as a kind of end to the WOLF wheel/older 90-110 question. Chris.

western Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 That info was probably extracted from this LR tech bulletin 60/04/97/EN dated 30/07/97, refer to attached copy. the wheel brace mentioned in cw01's post above is this one this one NTC7829 & this is the Heavy Duty version NTC7829HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohlins Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 XD/Wolf studs are EXACTLY the same length as older 90/110 so changing them makes no difference, the difference comes from the fact that the wolf wheel centre is thicker than the 5.5 inch wide standard wheels & the drum brake thickness makes the studs look short, BUT the studs are only different in thread type -- nothing else. I bought a full set of XD studs to replace as I believed the XD studs were longer but found that it made no change, I trial fitted a wheel with the brake drum off & then the stud/nut when tightend was the same as the front wheel stud/nuts, so it's down to the drum brake thickness as mentioned above. photo of my rear XD/Wolf wheels on my DRUM Braked rear axle on my 110. Never had a loose nut or broken stud, these have been fitted since 1998 & my 110 has never failed a MOT because of them. Same here...I've a MOD 110 that I put Wolf wheels on....wheels nuts stay tight...never had a problem with forest off roading fully loaded with wood.... Just say'in like....... .
