    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    The Deuce TM lists its wheel nuts in the expendables that are to be tossed and put new ones on wheel change. I know I did read that in the TM somewhere. I found the Deuce just had its nuts put back on, looked like without even cleaning or any 30# oil on them. They must have use a one inch impact...

    Need to Replace Wheel Studs

    Yes it does and How many Dodge trucks went to war beginning 1916? It is a Dodge invention? Chrysler products began using left handed threads in the late 1930's and phased out their use during the 1971 model year. Mopars for many years and tossing the left hand threads was one of first thing I...

    handbrake cable

    Has to be greased for longevity and for normal operation At first I just thought that they sold you the cable itself whereas one removes the old broke cable and installs the new cable in the old sleeve, like a 65 Plymouth Valiant. Your photo does not show that.

    Left side left handed thread stuff on wheel is an Dodge thing from the old days. To get lugs off always turn the top of the wrench extension to the back of the truck, no matter which side of truck you be on. Do I got that part correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF578K91Ino
