What size lug wrench for 14"tires on 26X?

Post by dlandersson »

Ok, my X's trailer is stored at the yard my X spends the winter on, about 30 minutes away.

Does anyone know what size lug wrench for 14"tires on 26X? :cry:

Our size trailers typically use 1/2 20 studs which means that the nuts will require a 13/16 socket/wrench. Small chance it could be 3/4 so bring both.

Agree. My Mac trailer is bone stock and uses 13/16, which is kinda handy because that same socket can be used for spark plugs. :)

13/16" is the most likely. Take a "4-way" wrench. It will have the most popular sizes on it. The larger spark plug sockets are 13/16". Don't be tempted to try to take a lug nut off with one. They will break.

That's what I use, with the added bonus of being able to spin it for fast removal, like you know what you're doing, and it lays flat under the junk I carry in the tow vehicle when I travel. :D

I use a four way wrench, plus heat and an extension when they are really rusted on.
