woodjunky Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Last night I pulled the wheels off of my 49 to repack front bearings and inspect all four brake shoes. The left front and right rear were left hand threads. I believe I read somewhere that these both were supposed to be on the same side. If so which is correct ?

desoto1939 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes you are correct that the left hand threaded lug nuts should be onthe driver side of the vehicle. Looks as if the prior owner chnaged the drive axle with a left hand treaded one. rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say someone changed the brakes and didn't get the rear drums back on the proper sides. My 46 was like that too I just swapped them back to the proper sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drums are where the bolts connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prusakowski Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 New to dually wheels - is it best to have a Budd four-point socket or can an other socket can be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Use the proper Budd Lug Nut tool. Or Dual purpose Impact Socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
