Bob, the square socket is to remove the lug nuts/studs from the inner wheel after the outer wheel has been removed.

rear tires:

here is an image, at the 2 O'clock position, of an inner square drive nut.



First you remove the outer nut - then the outer tire - then the inner nut - then the inner tire. Each tire is held on by its own mounting nut.

Please get part numbers and item mfg with prices. Have Connie take some pics.

There is a combination socket for Budd wheels (it looks like you have 'em). It isn't cheap, however.

Here's a quick stupid question regarding GM P30 coaches. Do we have to deal with this situation if we ever have to remove our duals?

Just curious, do any of you know what your wheels are supposed to be torqued to? Is it the same for all Barths or does it vary any?

I don't know on the P30 Danny. Do you see anything that looks like a square head on the inside of the stud? You can easily see that without removing the outer tire. Instead of a circular stud with threads going to the end, it'll look like a square bolt head.

On my Gasoline Powered Ford with the Oshkosh/John Deere chassis I have that same Budd style inner and outer nuts too.

Each chassis model calls for a different torque, mine depending on the lug size. The 84 P30, for example, calls for either 110-140 lb ft (for 9/16" lugs) pr 130-180 lbs ft for 5/8" lugs)

My 19.5 wheels call for 130-180 lbs ft.
