365’s Michelin steer axle change-over
Larry from Ohio with his 2002 XLII doing 365’s Michelin steer axle tire upgrade. The change over includes new tires, rims, and wheel studs replacement.
Studs must be longer in length to accept the new rim. Rim must be replaced to accept the larger tire.
Tire and wheel removed…original studs inplace
New 365 Alcoa rim…New very rare and priceless Michelin 365 tires on property and secured in vault until needed.
Jeff puts the mighty hammer and drives each stud loose. I watched as his aim was on target for every stud.
Short studs removed
Longer studs go in from back side. Use old lug nut reversed tightened snug then spin on another nut, with impact
engaged the new studs are pulled into place locking them tightly in hub.
set up install new longer studs
new studs pulled into place with 3/4 drive air impact
New extended length studs in place
New Centramatic wheel balancer in place. Jeff recommmends Centramatics to his customers as it balances tire, wheel, complete hub assembly.

For those not familiar, you have to change out the stud pilot to hub pilot as shown in the photo’s. The new 365 Alcoa wheels require hub pilot studs and nuts.

Jeff………Tell me I am not seeing only that hydraulic jack under the coach. Tell me there is a jackstand out of the picture.
One of our members from the great state of TN had a sudden hydraulic jack failure and any time that happens the results can be very bad, or no big deal if stands are used.

“stud pilot to hub pilot” … explain the difference. I’ve seen the reference before. Can’t see the difference in the pictures.
