Wheel Bolts

Hi Mark,

The other guys will be able to confirm, but on most older cars, there are left threaded nuts on one side of the car and right threaded on the other, don’t ask me which on which side, cause I don’t remember. In fact in many older cars, the bolts are marked R or L. Just make sure you check on that before purchasing the whole lot.

I am interested in your findings, as I will be needing to source a set also.

I am attaching your pic again.
Thanks!

On Joe A's suggestion I purchased two regular 9/16 - 18 bolts and ground the head off to a point .When I went to reinstall my wheels I hung it on these 2 pins .Yes John it makes a huge difference . As you are not struggling to hold the tire and rim and align the 7 bolt holes .If I do it again I would use longer bolts . As these were only 3 1/2 inch bolts .Mark

From Tim:

Checked both sides of my vehicle, (Left & Right), removed wheel bolts on both sides. REO, used right hand thread on wheel bolts on both sides. John Deere bolts was just an option that I thought of.

I took someone's suggestion and I bought a bag of John Deere bolts off of Ebay. The head is the same as on the Royale, 3/4". The length is within 1/16" of being the same as the Royale one. I think all that has to be done is to remove the shoulder and about 1/4" of the threads. John
