did a brake job on my 2008 3500 sprinter last week. 24,000 miles and the rear were 90% worn and front were 50%. roughly 9500# gvw all the time.
problem came when i went to torque the rear lugs. set to 140# and 1 lug tightened but wouldn't torque. so i attempted to remove it and all it did was spin
seems like the nut is stripped and so is the stud?
how would you remove this lug nut?
is the stud a bolt or a true stud on the 3500? the reason i ask is because while i was at the dealer today with my glow plug issue, i went to the parts counter to buy a new lug nut and stud. 20 minutes later looking up the part on the computer with the counter parts guy, neither was a stocked item. amazing that this dealer has well over 30 service bays and not 1 lug nut in stock
no problem the mercedes sprinter dealer is right next door. believe it or not, another stumped parts guy and 20 minutes later they found the part # and located 1 lug nut. that was all that's in stock. 1 lug nut total. the stud was not in stock, but appears as a bolt from the computer blow up this is the mercedes part # 461 401 00 71 is that correct?
can i just hammer it out or do i need to pull the hub? is it stripped or just rotating and need to apply some pressure?
any suggestions?
thanks,
rick.
