Wheel stud/nut

[markmark2]

Hi all, does anybody know what size thread the wheel stud/nut is. One or the other is stripped. Is the stud easy to replace. Many thanks. Mark

7/16 UNF from memory. Tap the old one out and wind the new one in with a nut and spacer.

Hi Mark, Stud is 7/16. Easy job to do just tap the old stud out with a small hammer and push then tap the new one in as far as you can. You will then probably need to pull it in to its final seating position so get a large nut that goes easily over the stud to act as a spacer and then just do up a wheel nut over the top of it to pull the stud in. I have some spare studs but am on holiday until next Sunday if your still stuck by then.

Regards, Steve

More likely an alloy nut stripped its thread

[markmark2]

Thanks for all help. See what tomorrow brings when I get the wheel off.


Steve, thanks for the offer of the studs. Might have to take you up on your offer. See what happens. Cheers. Mark

Hi all, thanks for all the advice. On inspection I found that 2 nuts had stripped threads. (Not by my own hand!) Will order replacements. Cheers.

Have you been near a tyre centre recently? grease monkeys armed with windy guns and original ally stag wheel nuts are a bad mix

[markmark2]

Tell me about it! 2 new front tyres. Take note everybody......cheers

[markmark2]

2 new tyres on sat! I told them what to do, one side was ok but couldn't watch the other side. My fault really. Take note everybody......

I replaced all my alloy nuts for Stainless Steel ones, less risk of stripping threads.

Not all stainless nuts are the correct size on the spigot/ location part

[Danny]

Yep, you need to get the correct type/size for your wheels.

Sorry did not explain properly, some of the stainless stag wheel nuts for the original wheels have been made wrongly and have a undersize shank/spigot section which locates the wheel centrally, giving wheel balance type problems.
