^^^This^^^. If the threads are full of grit and grease you don't know what the torque (by feel or measured) ends up being. I spend 3x (at least) more time cleaning and degreasing the threads than I do installing a new stud.
Again, I do it by feel using a small 4-6" wrench, not jamming threads, not bottoming out in the hole, the unthreaded portion of the stud butts up
against the upper edge of the hole. That is what you feel as you slowly tighten up the stud.
Not an expert but haven't had any issues doing it that...
The way I've done it is to drive the studs up to the unthreaded section very snug using blue thread locker on super cleaned threads (hole threads and stud). I've used a small wrench (4-6") for better feel and go until they feel like they're tightening up but I don't give them a final crank once...
"I think drive flange stud"
Just for clarity, is the question what's the torque value when installing a new front hub stud (no spec) or is the question what's the torque value for the drive flange nuts that go on the front hub studs??
