Ludwig Acrolite Lug bolts size? Last viewed: 6 hours ago

Loading...

I am currently cleaning a 1965 Acrolite and wanted to take off the lugs for proper cleaning. They are bolted on from the inside and strangely enough a size 6 (millimeter?) ratchet is too small and a nr. 7 too large! I live in Europe. Is this some US size in inches or is my ratchet too cheap and unreliable? I don`t want to start messing around with pliers...should I use a small wrench?

The bolts will be imperial...I believe 1/4" is the size you need...I wouldn`t recommend using pliers because you can easily strip the head of the bolt...

Cheers
