Left Hand Wheel Bolt Needed

Hi All,

I have an old Fleetwood trailer from the 70's and on the left side, the wheel bolts screw in, but they are all left handed, so they screw in by turning left instead of right. Well, when I went to get my tires replaced at Goodyear, it either broke unexpectedly like they said, or as I suspect, they didn't know this and tried to loosen it the wrong way and broke it. Well, what's done is done, but I'm having a terrible time trying to replace it. It's a 1/2 inch, course thread. Does anyone have knowledge about this and if so, where can I find what I need?

Thx!
Matt

  • Try checking with a nut and bolt distributor. There usually is one where ever there is an industrial zone. A nation wide company is Fastenal. They are a big outfit but the smaller ones may be more help.
  • If there standard style studs, just buy a bunch of new ones. If their the funky stud bolts, you might be screwed.
  • NAPA use to carry them...not sure any more


    THIS place should have but don't know what pricing/quantity is.

    Leftys are getting hard to find.
