marktheherald Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I found that the standard studs and nuts prevent the wheel sitting correctly on the spline taper... I took all mine down with an angle grinder..... SO, shorter studs and nuts required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheherald Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This photo hopefully shows what is required... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob dunn Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 So the wheels last turned in anger in 2005 round ten countries. And I can get the actual nuts that went with the wheels . All supplied from Rimmers in 2005 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob dunn Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 No not quit , the nuts that they were fitted with appear to be herald nuts ,so back to Rimmers . On the ones that I now have there is very little room to tighten up these nuts ,what is the method Ps what about Stud Lock . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheherald Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I used a good quality open ended spanner and the trusty copper mallet....Never used thread lock. I often thought about modifying a ring spanner somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
