Wheel lug/stud knurl size
I broke 4 lugs/studs (2 on each side) off my factory a-body 8 3/4" rear-end (7/16"-20 thread size).
And, with the help of YouTube.com, I was able to knock out the broken lugs/studs. I measured the knurl size on both broken lugs/studs at ~.463"-ish. The length of the remaining studs is ~1.5".
I've found Dorman #610-186 lugs/studs with a .472" knurl at SummitRacing.com & the local AutoZone/O'Reiley's. All 3 websites say these lugs/studs will fit my vehicle. Will the larger knurl actually work sufficiently?
I plan to remove & replace all the rear lugs/studs as I'm pretty sure they are all original (nearly 50 years old and 120,000 miles).
Any tips or tricks for installing/maintaining the lugs/studs? Should I put anti-seize on the lugs/studs when I mount the wheels/tires?
As always, thanks for any/all guidance.
