Does anybody know the diameter size and thread pitch of the wheel studs on a 09 Triton GLXR. Thanks

I could give you thread tomorrow mate, but I was told by the tyre guy who gave me some spares that they are all the same except for some Nissans...not much help I suppose... :?

Same goes for 6 stud PCD I believe...

I think they're an M12x1.5 thread, will be able to confirm tomorrow at work (got a spare one in after replacing one on daryn's 3.2 beast)

I'm pretty sure they are different from front to rear.
Also Bursons sell them and have a listing for them.

There was a part number posted for each of them from memory. I think maybe ultimate posted it. Might help you find the other info you need. Will take some digging to find it though, unless anyone remembers it better than I do.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?

Yeah I went and found that and went two steps further. Catalog here:http://www.niceproducts.com.au/download/Wheel%20Studs%20and%20Nuts.pdf

Which takes you to these:

Wheel studs2.JPG


So the originals are slightly different but if you go longer you can use the same ones.

Black stud is the ford pattern which came out (14mm) and the gold went in (12mm)

The centre of the rim was just touching the outer hub which you can see where the black paint is missing so with a light file I ground it back enough for the rim to sit perfectly :D

thanks mate...
the splines look different ?
Did it matter ?

I was thinking a 6mm spacer would help with the hub clearance issue
i will have to check if i can file the hub... its a ford hub according to the manufaturer

When you say spline do you mean the knurl :?

If so my hubs were new and never had rims on before so the stud had never been pulled through all the way so made no difference at all.

Your best bet is to sit a rim in place after you knock the studs out and go from there ;)

Opps.. I thought that was called a spline, you learn something every day :oops:

My brake drum have imperial studs with 15inch rims fitted

So Im Guessing I need to match the knurl of the fitted studs somehow

I going to pull out a stud on the weekend and take it to bursons

These look like Forged or knurled.... "splines" on your wheel studs...:shock:
Usually Knurling is referred to as the textured grip you get on some handtools especially centre punches...knurling is the tool name that gives you various patterns..
It's applied with a knurling tool on a lathe..it makes a criss cross pattern,spline and other various patterns from various knurling tools...
Any ways what you are referring on your studs are splines..
Hope this clears up some confusion here...shippy...

Well this is weird. In a classic sense shippy you would be right. I was always taught that the knurl is a cross hatched pattern that you put on with a lathe. Even did a couple, doubt I could do it now though. And sure usually I would call those splines too. But if you look at the screen snips I took from the catalog up there ^^^ they actually call it the knurl so that would make Ken correct and our traditional view of things wrong.

Anyway, I take it we're all talking about the area that will be subject to friction and basically jammed into the hole in the hubs.

I think The yanks love to call em knurls....
British .? yep ...splines.... so call em what you will....lol
In my Aust standard engineering books on fitting and machining they are splines..
I'm a fitter and machinists son I used to play in his manufacturing shop at thonleigh as a kid ...I made my own go cart....at the age of 14...:shock:
My traditional view on what splines are and how they are made with a knurling tool won't change Dave because a parts catalogue...has incorrectly identified a wheel stud spline....:lol:

So I'm guessing the imperial studs have a different knurl / spline to the metric triton version

I'm hoping I can get the metric stud with the correct knurl / spline.

Seeing the output of journalists and other writers these days its common to see incorrect terminology in catalogues.

Years ago, I have seen those splines (definitely not knurles - yanks are pretty dumb) referred to as flutes.

Knurling is creating a textured pattern to mainly enhance grip axially whereas the spline is there to prevent rotation.
