Changing Deuce Tires

[MDSA]

Big senior moment last week.

I had to put a new boot on the driver's side of the Deuce and couldn't get the left front tire lug nuts to turn, and I know I got them off by hand once before.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but for all you newbies - I had forgotten the left side lugs of the Deuce turn backwards.

I don't think I'll forget again.

That is a very common mistake. At least you discovered it early on and were able to complete the mission! A good habit is to always look at the end of the studs. The usually have a "L" or "R". You can also look at the threads.

Did you use the zipper or the solid boots?

when me and my brother tried to remove a wheel from a 2.5 ton axle for a mud truck, way back before i even had a deuce, we actually were able to snap a lug clean off by not turning the right way. big pipes make you strong like the incredible hulk hahaha

Zippered boot. I didn't want to remove the brake assembly to do a solid boot.

Quick question,

Do you remove the inner rear wheel struds in the same direction as the outer nut for each side?

Yup

a quick way to remember is always spin the nuts to the rear of the truck no matter what side ...Randy
