Reply to "Front Hub Measurements"

davidbMember

Well from what you say, then my wheels use shank lugs - long tubes that extend thru the wheel to catch the long studs. There is no play inside the wheel and the flat head secures the wheel with big washers. But as soon as they are loosened the wheel falls right off the hub. There is nothing holding it but the lug nuts.

My problem is getting the 5th lug to catch its stud. Four is no problem. It takes a lot of playing around and rotating the wheel while I do it. Either some shop put the wheels on and didn't torque them down until I discovered it miles later, or else I stretched a stud.

Being off 1/32" and having no play in the wheel is a mother. This is on the front wheels only.
