knotty is right
i cant believe i just said that

but a press makes things so much easier. 
Ed if i was closer u could use mine but i am sure Roger or Steve have one and pretty sure them boys would let u use it.  pull all the hubs and stop by with some beer.

I found out why my rims didn't have enough threads. My hubs have threaded holes and instead of wheel studs or wheel bolts they had regular bolts coming from the back side just tightened up where the threads stopped.. don't know why they didn't work themselves loose since when you tighten a lug nut it should or could un-tighten the bolt..hum..

omg drum that's crazy but I have seen similar atleast on the one I saw they made sure they forced them through all the way.

Your hubs should have jolts instead of studs and nuts then I have a set that are the same way.

Cody's old boat trailer was like that, used lug bolts instead of lug nuts. Lug bolts can be kind of a pain, probably someone along the way did a po' boy conversion so they could use lug nuts. Good thing you caught it, you gonna put studs in or go back with lug bolts?

I had lug bolts in my old hubs until I upgraded and put new hubs on. I went to SouthWest wheel and got my hubs with bearings, lug nuts and seals for about $19 each.

They do mail order too and are the most reasonable place around to get your stuff from.

I am working on a boat tonight.  Not mine but making money to pay for parts for the Carlson.
Thanks for the concern
