Hello All

I will be picking up my M109A3 and driving the 50 miles home this week. What size are the lug nuts?
I am bringing 500 lbs. of tools, but want to be sure I can change a tire

Thank you
More questions to follow.

1 1/2" for the outer lugs and 13/16" square for the budd inner nuts. Get a budd socket!

Make sure to remember that the left and right side nuts / lugs have different orientations, if you have to undo them [thumbzup] !

I once forgot that on a budd inner nut (not so easily notable because you don't see a thread) and almost broke my back on that sucker before I remembered that.

Cheers,
Mark

Has anyone heard or bought from Houdel recently?

Tighten the lug nuts to the front of the truck, and loosen them to the rear.

Unless the NG has put a wrong set on one of your hubs. I forget every time, but luckily I have the kid to remind me. I need to change them out, but haven't.
