C8 progress in Texas

[Paul Singleton]

Hello David,

I have a C-8 parts book and a C-15 parts book. The part numbers in both books are the same:

#1798450 Bolt wheel hub right

#1798451 Bolt wheel hub left

#1798510 (C019T 1120) Nut, wheel locking right

#1798511 (C019T 1121) Nut, wheel locking left

It also lists the wheel adapters

#1798762 Adapter rear axle shaft right Superseded by #5807126

#1798761 Adapter rear axle shaft left Superseded by #5807127

Thanks a million, Paul!
Should be a much easier search for the stud parts, now that they are known to fit another model also.
Will keep mindful of the left-and-right hand configuration when I ask for parts.
Thanks again!
David

Hello David,

I forgot to add that the cone washers are also the same from the C-8 and C-15.

#1798532 (C019T1132) Cone, wheel to hub locating

The part number in brackets is the equivalent Ford number. The nuts and the cones are the same for the Ford also.

Thanks again Paul,
Pressed out one of the studs today and noticed that the washer was tapered on both sides.
Does anyone have a set of twelve studs, cone washers and lug nuts that they might be willing to part with?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, David

Got motivated today on pulling the old tires off the rims. All the wheel nuts surprisingly came off without heating things up, but the old tire beads were bastards.
How rusted metal and old rubber can decide to glue themselves together like that is beyond me.
Brute force prevailed in the end, and yielded three bare wheels and three useable liners.
Thanks, David

Hi David

Just wanted to add a comment, for viewers who try the method that worked for you only to discover that it doesn't work for them. The problem may be that they have a runflat tire with the solid bead spacer which completely fills the area between the two beads, thus no compress or push the bead down.

Cheers Phil

I used a bit of transmission fluid poured arond the rim. I let it soak in between the rim and the tire bead overnight and removed the sticky rims the next day.

Regards,
Jim
