Title: Rear Wheel Lugs
Post by: Delrio on June 05, 2020, 08:26:09 am
Hi everyone ,
                    I have to remove the "Rear Driver Side" tire ..... and I can't remember which direction the lugs have to be turned in order to take them off .

So is it :

 A. - Turn to the Right .... Clockwise

 B. - Turn to the Left .... Counter Clockwise

Also , my Foretravel is a 1985 33RB .... does anyone know exactly what size deep well to use , because I don't have the right size , so I have to buy the right one .... Thanks in advance .  :)

I should add that I'm using an impact ... that's why I need to know the deepwell size

Left hand threads on the driver's side, right hand threads on the passenger side. When you remove the chrome cap from the lug nuts you will see a marking on the stud.

Turn clockwise to remove if there is an L stamped on the end of the stud.

I think your chassis is a Chevrolet P-30 but not sure. Since I never owned one the advice I can give you is to find an open end wrench the fits and buy that size socket. If you don't have wrenches that size use a crescent wrench, size it to the nut and use a tape measure to find the size. Also they may or not be left hand thread, as posted above if there is a L stamped on the stud Clockwise removes it.

I just tried a 36mm and it was too small ... I was hoping since I already had that one and I didn't have to buy another one .

What chassis???  The chassis maker speced the axles and lug nuts, not the coach builder.

Will the wheel still come off if you just remove the square stud in the center , or do you have to remove the huge nut too that the square stud is in ?

You remove to outer large nut and outside wheel, then the square inner nut and inner wheel. Most NAPA store will carry the proper combination socket both sizes in one the outer nut is 11/2 if my memory serves me.

If you tell them that you need a budd wheel socket they should know what you need it is a combination socket 1 1/2 inch hex that takes off the large nut then the square inner part of the socket will remove the nut that has the square shank.
