The video walks through the Kubota B8786 kit, jack-stand placement using the manual, two methods for removing Loctite-stuck studs (cram-nut and pipe wrench), and final torque specs for both spacer studs and wheel nuts. Best for DIY owners facing the same chains-plus-clearance situation.
An owner-operator sharing a first-time hands-on experience from their own property, with no mechanical background disclosed.
Tire chains were rubbing against hydraulic lines and electrical wires under the fender, so he added Kubota B8786 wheel spacers to create clearance before winter.
Use the cram-nut method, tightening two nuts together to back the stud out, or use a pipe wrench and a hammer to break it loose before turning it counterclockwise.
He torqued the spacer studs into the axle hub to 54 pounds, and torqued the wheel nuts to 105 pounds, within the manual's 94 to 110 pound range.
The manual, page 41, shows the front and rear lift points; he used the two thick frame rails underneath as his jack stand anchor points.
