Left hand thread wheel studs

Post by greeny »

Just a quick queryto my fellow members. Doimg brake work on my '67 rhd barracuda, i came across a broken wheel stud. My query is do i replace with a n exact one or convert to right hand thread studs. The easy one isto replace with a left hand thread stud. Any one with a strong opion on this. I would be interested to hear people's thoughts. Thanks for your time greeny

I changed mine to left hand thread, easier to undo, standard.

I have always changed them to RH, no good reason to have LH IMO they are just a pain in the neck.
