Hi there,
I was replacing a wheel on my trailer and a couple of the studs practically shredded the threads off when removing the nuts.
It was relatively easy to knock the stud through the wheel hub, but finding the right stud has been a pain. I have tried several shops without luck. Does anyone know a good source for these studs? A make/model number?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: 26M Aluminum Trailer Wheel Studs
Is there something special about those studs? Common 1/2" studs (by several different lengths) are available online through etrailer.com and possibly easternmarine.com. And other sites, I would assume.
Maybe there is something odd about them as trailer shops should stock wheel studs.
And welcome to the forum.

There are dozens (hundreds?) of different sizes of studs. These are hard to find. My local Auto parts store does not have ones that fit. Still looking...

I checked the Blue Water Yacht web site.
Under repair parts, trailer tab, page 3, I
found lug bolt listed in their inventory,
for the 5 lug wheel. Hope this helps you...

Good find. Part number 9606-1M3, since I was of zero help further up.
