Wheel stud size

[Derek Simpson]

Hey guys,

I'm going to replace the wheel studs in the rear for my 66 Newport. Just wondering if anyone knows the size I need to get

Thank you
Derek

Hey Derek are you doing both sides or just one? Reason I ask is your 66 has left hand threaded studs on the drivers side. These will have an "L" in the center of the stud instead of an "R". this is the time if you are going to change them. I don't have the number, but I got mine at Carquest.

I'm doing both sides but I'm going with right handed threads all the way around

As I said earlier, Carquest has them. I did the same thing to my 300. The ones in the front are different if you keep your drum brakes.

Awesome, thank you. Got some big plans for my Newport this spring.. doing the 73 spinal swap, new ignition system, rims and tires, interior work , plus what ever else I can do lol

Great! I got most of the parts, all new bearing, seals, I got the original proportional valve, brake lines, drilled and slotted rotors, Hawk carbon pads, and hardware. All I need is the brake booster and master
