Lug Nut size

[PeoriaKen]

My wife and I just got our new to us (2006) Vacationer and I was checking out all the fluids and came to the bearings. To check the oil on the wheel (workhorse) I need to take off the wheel cover. Does any one know what size the lugs are? I don't seem to have a socket big enough to start them off. Wheel size is 235 80R 22.5

Workhorse W-22 chassis has Stainless Steel Wheel Liners

and the

Workhorse W-24 chassis has Polished Aluminum Wheels.

the wheel linerss you just pull two of the nut covers off and the liner should slip right off.

The Aluminum Wheels, if you don't have a socket big enough, you don't have a rachet big enough!! But the hub cover should turn off. Depends on how it is set up.

Thanks Guys I will check when I get home tomorrow.

If you have the stainless steel wheel covers, there is a center piece that pops off. It is about 5-6" in diameter. Look for a pretty well concealed place to insert a flat blade screw driver and just pry them off.

PeoriaKen,
May I ask, what "Type" of wheels do you have? Are they steel with Stainless steel wheel liners or, are they "Aluminum"? If, they're Aluminum, it's possible that, (like ours) there is a stamped number on the lug nut caps, (that is if you have caps). On mine there is a "33" on them. That is, mine are 33 mm lug nuts. The same, or very, very close in American sockets is a 1 5/16". This is assuming that because you have 22.5" wheels, your lugs will be the same as ours. Just guessing here.

P.S. Use a tape measure and measure across the stud, from a flat surface on one side to the exact opposite on the other side of the lug nut and see what you get.
