The reasonI have never seen left handed threads used on wheel studs ( lugs ) but the reason they are ever used is because the motion of the part is counter clockwise ( mostly ) which may cause the nut to loosen over time from the constant turning in the counter clockwise direction, that is the reason that castlenated nuts with cotter pins are used on wheel spindles and ball joints now to prevent tightening or loosening from motion. answerall heavy trucks have left hand threaded wheel nuts on one side. the reason is, so tightening direction is the same as the forward diection , when vehicle is being driven. this helps avoid loosening wheel nuts. some cars also have left and right hand threaded studs on opposite sidesA 1965 Dodge Dart 270 had reversed threads on the studs. it was a positive traction rear-end.

How do replace studs on 1998 dodge avenger?

The wheel studs are replaced by first removing the tire from the brake. Remove the disk brake pads and caliper if it is the front and remove the brake drum if it is the back. Once you have the brake disk or drum off, simply pound the studs with a heavy hammer and they will pop out the back. if you plan on reusing the studs put the nut on the threads so it is flush with the end and then use hammer as not to ruin threads. Spray WD-40 or heat the brake disk/drum(not the studs) if they are stubborn or rusty.

Take a big hammer and drive all 8 studs out. Thay will knock right out. You need to run the nuts down flush with the end of the studs to keep from messing up the threads. Then install new rotors and drop all the studs back in the holes, and get a long punch and drive them back in with a hammer. Easy job.


How do you remove dash on 62 Chevy impala?

Most early Chevis dash pads are held in place by attached studs that go through slots on metal dash panel. There should be about 7 of these with 7/16 or 3/8 nuts. Reach up under, feel for studs and use deep socket to remove. Most will be thread cutting nuts which cut the threads in studs first time they are used. You have to be careful if you reuse so they use the same and don't cut new threads weakening the studs. You will see what I mean once you get them off.

How do you replace the chainsaw tension screw on a stihl 041 farm boss chainsaw?

First remove the clutch cover to expose the clutch, bar studs and area of the tensioner. Next you need to remove the bar studs. To do this tighten two nuts agains each other on the bar stud, then put a wrench on the lower nut and use it to loosen the whole stud. Repeat for the 2nd bar stud. Sometimes if you are lucky you can use vice grips on the shoulder of the stud to unscrew them, be careful not to damage the threads. After removing the bar studs, the inner bar plate and tensioner assembly lift right out. http://store.chainsawr.com/
