Varies by manufacturer.
once you have removed the hub nut you will need a flat metal plate and a nut & bolt. The plate needs to have 3 holes in it, 1 in the centre and the other 2 to line up with the wheel bolt holes. use 2 wheel bolts to secure the plate to the drum, with the nut & bolt through the centre hole. use the nut & bolt to put tension on the hub shaft then tap the bolt to pull the drum off.
17mm bolt and nut
Gauges to allow a person to calculate nut bolt size are widely available. Measuring the thread manually can be unreliable so it is far preferable to use a gauge.
If you are referring to the tensioner pulley's nut size, it is usually a metric 15mm nut.
It is probably a 19mm. The best way to find out is to go to the parts/hardware store and thread the lug nut onto a bolt and which ever size bolt it fits that will be the size of the lug nuts.
There are several bolt and nut sizes associated with the 1997 Chevrolet truck bed. The bolt and not sizes range from a half inch to three-quarter inches.
How is a nut like a bolt
bolt: 5x100 oe size: 15x6.5 lug nut: 14mmx1.5b cb: 57.1
The bolt pattern is 5x5. The lug nut size for the stud thread is 14mm x 1.50
2"
To measure the size of a bolt to match a nut, first determine the bolt's diameter using a caliper or a ruler, typically measuring across the threads. Next, measure the thread pitch, which is the distance between threads, using a thread gauge or by counting the threads over a specific length. Finally, ensure the bolt length is appropriate for your application. Cross-referencing these measurements with the nut specifications will confirm compatibility.
