Trying to figure out how to get my front wheel simulator back on. Tire shop took the wheels off to replace the tires, then couldn't get it back on. Problem is, the simulators are held on by nuts attached to the wheel studs, but once the main lug nuts for the wheels are on, there's only 1 thread left on the stud. Install the simulator, and there's not enough threads to even bite into a nut. I bought new stainless steel nuts thinking the edges on the old ones were stripped enough to not bite, but that didn't work either. Only options I see are longer studs or thinner wheel nuts. Online and Ford dealer could only find original studs, (not sure how long stock studs are without taking whole thing apart). Thinner lug nuts might work, but reluctant to reduce strength of said nuts since they hold the wheel on and 14k worth of rig rolling down the road loosing a front wheel is pretty scary. There's got to be some way to fix this? With all the rigs running down the road are they all about ready to fall off?
Well if they fit before but not now, what changed? What's that spacer behind the lugnut? Is that causing it?
