Wheel Bolts

Hi

I would like to replace the wheel bolts on my 1989 F-150 Lariet XLT. Where can I find these besides the dealer (new ones)?

Also are the fronts a different length than the rears?

Thanks
Don

If you are asking about the wheel studs,any parts store should have several diffrent lengths.

I am assuming what we are talking about are not studs but wheel bolts.

Doesen't the hub just have threaded holes that these wheel bolts just screw into?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

If you have a two wheel drive the front is disk and the rear is drum. They are both press in studs.I have removed them by, after removing them from the truck, put them on a flat surface and hit the stud with a hammer. One or two hits should drive them out the back.To replace them tap them into the holes. Make sure you tork the studs, then check them after driving the truck 10-20 miles.
