Rolf Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Looks OK Bill, but why aren't the tapers in the wheel and on the lugnuts adequate to center the wheel?? I don't understand!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Actually, this looks like a pretty good idea. I'm amazed at how much shorter the lugs are now and how much heavier wheels and tires have become over the years! I just had a hard time putting the wheels back on my ('41 Zephyr) parts car after harvesting the brakes and backing plates. I usually cheat a little by letting the car down just enough so I can roll the wheel up next to the hub and slip it on without any heavy lifting.

CBoz Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Looks good, but you better get a patent; a copyright won't do you much good <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Sorry, just couldn't resist being a smart-a$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Rolf, to answer your question, the guide screws on to the Hub Lug, andhas the NF20 thread same as the lug.and still has a clearance of.0138 around the wheel hole with the conical shape which centers the wheel on the hub. Attached is the 2 guides used in sliding the wheel offand or putting it back on.The remaing Lug nuts can be installed with the guides in place.The guides then can be unscrewed by hand and the 2last nuts installed and wheel torqued in place.Putting the wheel back on is faster then using only one as you don't have slightly rotate the wheel my hand, probably Ok for the younger guy's ha!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
