Swishy replied to 761 Brock's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Brock Gudday M8 Here on D udder side of the world they tend to over engineer most things purely for survival most heavy duty sleepers are mounted on a continuous sub frame from the front of cab to the rear of the sleeper box so it all rides together over our ruff roads the walk in sleeper I removed was 64 inch it only had a thing rubber type gasket to keep the water n dust out here is the removal of the hi rize walkin sleeper from a 2010 Mack Titan -

Question - Studs on Spoke Wheels
Swishy replied to brad_kelly's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
What normally happens: the threaded wheel stud gets damaged and when U undo the nut... the nut grabs on the damaged part of thread and the xtra force needed to undo is transferred to where the stud is screwed into the hub spoke and starts undoing... then u can have different lengths of the stud protruding from the spoke Best to remove stud clean threads (thread chaser n tap) screw the stud into spoke using 2 nuts locked together as a lock nut do up ........ just B 4 'F' tight undo the lock nuts etc n U B right to go http://truckhub.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Euclid100DWheelAttachingPartsX-Ref.96161249.pdf Section 4 Wheel Studs & Rim Clamps cya §wishy -
