mike, can you post a link to the thread chaser you found?
actually, for the stud remover tool as well, looks much better than mine i switched to titanium lug bolts last year on the cayman just switched the boxster too they may not make a difference, but they look nice  http://www.acerracing.com/ACERLug_Ti...lts-128-1.html makes me wonder, why are there no titanium racing studs / nuts for porsche?

Ti galls other metals. It does not play well with others

Quote:
all the more reason for ti studs and lug nuts, once installed you are only 'working with' ti to ti or are you saying ti to steel is just a bad idea in general? is there some di-electric thing happening or something? sorry, galvanic corrosion?

Titanium is generally not a great material for fasteners. Even titanium-to-titanium has issues with the material "self-welding" to itself under compression (e.g., when tightened). When it does, the material "rips" rather than disengages smoothly, which is what galling is. This also occurs titanium-to-steel, aluminum or other metals.
Stainless steel has similar issues, but not as badly. ed
