EnglishIf your truck or trailer features wheel hub nuts, it is essential that you know how to safely remove and install new ones. With the appropriate tools in hand and hubs that are undamaged, the process should be straightforward; make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface before beginning removal of nuts and caps from them; additionally it may be wise to place a jack underneath each wheel should lug nuts become loose and cause further damage to rim or bearing.
Utilizing the appropriate tools is also crucial in order to avoid damaging nuts or axle bearing cones with excessive torque. When tightening lug nuts, we advise using a standard wrench rather than an impact tool because impact tools could damage threads that ultimately cause failure or axle component breakdown. If impact tools must be used instead, please refer to your vehicle or trailer OEM or service manual for correct torque specifications.
A high cap hub nut is designed to add extra strength and stability to the connection between hub and wheel, made from strong metals such as steel or aluminum and designed to withstand high levels of stress and torque. These types of lug nuts are often employed in heavy duty or high performance applications.
High cap lug nuts offer another advantage by being suitable for use on hubs equipped with stud-piloted hubs. Their machined flange has extra thickness to prevent set screw threads from stripping when tightening; additionally, this design accommodates up to.008 inch of axial and radial runout--the amount of play between hub and drum or wheel--when tightening tightened.
In most instances, wheel hub nuts can be removed using a standard socket provided the hub is undamaged and free from corrosion or signs of rusting or pitting. In more complex instances where spindles become hardened or frozen and require special tools to unbolt, we advise seeking assistance from either your tractor/trailer OEM or axle manufacturer for assistance.
