2002 Island 31 Lug Studs February 07, 2024, 08:55:07 pm Hello! We sheared off all of our lug studs near Amarillo TX and are trying to get things back together. Does anyone happen to know the exact specs or part number for the dually lug studs?Thanks!-Andy

I hope the damage was limited when the wheel fell off;Larry

Fortunately the inside tire stayed in place and the outside didn't completely fall off either so damage appears to be minimal.

Re: 2002 Island 31 Lug Studs Reply #5 – February 08, 2024, 02:39:45 am Dual wheels can get cocked when installed and feel like the lug nuts are tight when the wheels are not fully seated. Tightening the lug nuts in a cross pattern will help prevent this, the E450 Owners Manual shows the pattern and torque specification (140-ft/lb). It's best to check the lug nuts after a few miles of driving. Larry 3 Likes

It would be tough to pound them out and replace with with hand tools.\View of the rear hub and rotor with wheels and axles removed.Larry 1 Likes
