M101 Tire Changing

[CARNAC]

Checked the manual and it didn't show it but need to know if to loosen the nuts do I go clockwise or counter clockwise??

I might just have frozen nuts...that doesn't sound good.

I don't know the answer, but did you look at the ends of the studs to see if they are marked?

Counter clockwise on the right, clockwise on the left assuming the studs are right. Check the end of the studs for an L or R.

Yes, I just had to take mine off to run Mangus's M37 up to him, and I found out they are just like on a deuce or M37, tighten to the front, loosen to the rear. That's how I remember it anyway.

Unless your M101 is the updated one with CUCV wheels, then I'm not sure...

what he said. My pioneer trailer has the wsame chassis as your 101A1. Left side is opposite of the normal rotation. I do not think there are markings on the studs.

Well then, it must be cold cause my nuts are frozen and I can't get them loose. Will have to take it someplace with an impact wrench.
