Question:

Have a housel miller inc hub model hm506. Patent number 3724907 Looking for 4 wheel studs. Round head square shank 1 inch of threads. Have picture of stud but no part number and unable to find part list on line only reference to company from the 90s which would make sense given the sailboat was made in 1994 Hub in good shape studs need to be replaced as at some point someone did not tighten lug nuts and egged out the rim on the studs

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the additional information.

I was able to find some information on the Housel Miller HM506 hub. From what I found, it uses 1/2" wheel studs, but unfortunately I was not able to find any published dimensions for the stud length or knurl diameter.

Based on the information available, I think the Kodiak Wheel Bolt # K12WB169 is going to be a great place to start. I've attached an image that shows all of the dimensions for the stud so you can compare it to your existing one.

Since the original Housel Miller specifications don't appear to be available anymore, you'll want to verify the dimensions of your current stud against the drawing, especially the knurl diameter and overall length. If something doesn't match up, just let me know which measurement is different and I'll help track down the correct replacement.

What kind of trailer are you working on?
