Lug Nut Torque Setting for 14-Inch Steel Trailer Wheels on 1/2-Inch Wheel Studs  

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Hey Thomas, so B and W does have a fifth wheel hitch that fits the Reese above bed rails you have in the bed of your truck but the Companion that you mentioned does not as it only fits into B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitches. So instead what…

I apologize for any confusion on what the proper torque specs are for 1/2 inch lug nuts on trailer wheels. I attached a picture of a chart to the right that details what the proper torque specs are for a trailer wheels lugs based on lug size, wheel…

I am attaching a form that shows the different torque ratings for different situations. If you were to have a 14" steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern like what comes on the Kenda Karrier #AM32182 which fits a wheel bolt size…

I have attached a chart you can check out that describes the torque needed per wheel size, wheel stud size and material. For an 8-inch wheel with a 1/2-inch wheel stud the torque is 75 to 86 ft-lbs. For a 15 inch steel wheel with 1/2 inch wheel…

For 9/16 inch suspension bolts, wet bolts or regular bolts, you will want to torque them to 65 to 95 foot pounds. And should you ever use 1/2 inch bolts then the torque spec is 45 to 70 foot pounds. And for 5/8 inch use 100 to 120 foot pounds.

For the 1/2 inch lug nut #12CLN-L and the 14 inch aluminum wheels you will torque each lug nut to 75 to 85 foot pounds. No lubricant is required. However, since this is on a boat trailer and the hub studs are likely raw steel a little lube would…

It does sound like a motor and gear box issue, and so long as your steps are from 2006 or newer (there should be a sticker verifying the year on the motor) then we have exactly what you need with a new motor and and gear box/linkage for your…

The correct torque for installing lug nuts on your 5 X 8 trailer's 5-lug wheels will depend on the size of the lugs. For a 1/2-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 75- to 85-ft-lbs. For a 9/16-inch lug the torque spec ranges from 135- to…

90-120 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.

From the numbers you provided it sounds like you need replacement grease seals. In my research, the grease seals I found with the GS-1719DL number have a 1.72 inside diameter and 2.565 outside diameter. The replacement double lip grease seals you…
