I always start them with 1 longer screw, tighten that down some and then put in the smaller ones.

Best way I have found is to get two longer screws. If you do just one, the bead seems to push out. Having the two, you can then tighten them across from each other to ensure that it clamps evenly. then add the stock screws.

After they are in place, remove the longer ones.

You can get a nut driver for them...just be careful not to torque them too hard, they will snap.

i learned the long screw technique when i bought some cheapo Gmade beadlocks.. they actually provide the two extra long screws.. i think any company that sells that style of beadlock should provide those screws.
