Turn the hub so the pin is at 12 o’clock like Brent said, Worked for me for years. Want some fun with lug bolts? Try putting the wheels on an early VW with the wide bolt pattern. No locating pins and no close fitting hub to at least help guide the wheel. It was all holding the wheel in line and with one hand and starting the one bolt with the other! Thank heaven they were not all that heavy as it was a real (nasty 5 letter word). Once one bolt was started it was comparatively easy going but you still had to swing that wheel around with all that free movement due to not having a close fitting hub. Having that guide pin was a big help on US cars. John Hagen From: Forward Look Mopar Discussion List [mailto:L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger van Hoy

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] lug nuts 1956 Mopar? Cost makes sense, Brent, but then why would DeSoto have lug bolts and Dodge have nuts? Not exactly a burning question; just curious. Myself, when I try to hang a wheel on the pin the drum starts to turn before I can get the first bolt in.
