If there is any thread left to examine- a flashlight will help you see the threads and the angle of the pitch.

they should both be right hand thread as the axles are american made

not like the old army trucks with left hand thread on the left side and right hand thread on the right side-it saved a lot of wheels and studs that way though.

Usually a lug with left hand threads will have an L stamped on the center of the lug bolt. Mixed applications have an R for right hand threads, L for left hand threads.

I have seen the left hand lug bolts. but I don't think ( I ) have ever seen left handed lug nuts. Not saying there not there just that I have not seen them

 

[CharlieS]

i've seen them many times.

They are right hand thread, and probably have 160 ft lbs of torque on them. Eat your wheaties and use a flex handle, maybe with a pipe. Unless you're built like a gorilla, a ratchet ain't going to cut it.

All my Studebaker's had Left hand thread studs on the left ... Right hand on the right. KennyV

Thanks Jim and KennyV that's what I wanted to hear. I know some Jeep pickup's in the early 50s had right and Left hand lug bolts.
