Thanks a million, Paul!
Should be a much easier search for the stud parts, now that they are known to fit another model also.
Will keep mindful of the left-and-right hand configuration when I ask for parts.
Thanks again!
David

Thumbs up Wheel cones

Hello David,

I forgot to add that the cone washers are also the same from the C-8 and C-15.

#1798532 (C019T1132) Cone, wheel to hub locating

The part number in brackets is the equivalent Ford number. The nuts and the cones are the same for the Ford also.

Paul

Default cone washers...

Thanks again Paul,
Pressed out one of the studs today and noticed that the washer was tapered on both sides.
Does anyone have a set of twelve studs, cone washers and lug nuts that they might be willing to part with?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, David

Default wheels.....

Got motivated today on pulling the old tires off the rims. All the wheel nuts surprisingly came off without heating things up, but the old tire beads were bastards.
How rusted metal and old rubber can decide to glue themselves together like that is beyond me.
Brute force prevailed in the end, and yielded three bare wheels and three useable liners.
Thanks, David

Default That approach works sometimes

Hi David

Just wanted to add a comment, for viewers who try the method that worked for you only to discover that it doesn't work for them. The problem may be that they have a runflat tire with the solid bead spacer which completely fills the area between the two beads, thus no compress or push the bead down.

Cheers Phil

Default Loosening up those tire beads

I used a bit of transmission fluid poured arond the rim. I let it soak in between the rim and the tire bead overnight and removed the sticky rims the next day.

Regards,
Jim

They never used run flats on the 13" rims so they're reasonably easier to get off the rims. Actually all of mine came right off with but a few blows with a hammer. All the bolts spun right off with a 3/4" impact wrench too. The only issue is the little warning plate on all of them is rusted away quite bad.
