wheel studs
I'm doing a brake job and I'm probably going to buy new wheel studs since I had to remove them. Some of them look pretty "worn"
For my f250 the best fit appears to be a 9/16-18 x 3 1/4" can anyone confirm? They measured out to about that and it shows in the parts list that being the closest match. E4tz-1107-B
I also need to replace lug nuts on the one side because for some reason it required 2 different sockets to remove them.
some were the 1 1/16 size(which is what my rear lug nuts are) others took a 1" socket.. Someone replaced them at one point I guess? What is the right size?
The parts list; if I found the right ones show a 9/16-18 X 15/16 I'm assuming the 15/16" is length of the nut? but no socket size so I'm still not sure if it matters?
Has anyone used a smaller hex size lug nut on their 3/4 ton - 1 ton? Some of the ones I found don't list the hex size so I might end up with another mismatch on wheels.

From the "Questions you didn't ask" department, I'd also suggest upgrading from the stock lug wrench to a proper socket and long breaker bar. The socket fits much better and you will be thankful for the extra leverage. The stock lug wrench is far from ideal for freeing lug nuts, and is better suited for fighting your way out of a barroom brawl.

My '84 F250HD (8600 GVW) takes a 1-1/16" socket for the lug nuts. I'd suggest buying replacements locally so you can verify the hex size before purchase. Most online sources won't bother listing the hex size, so local purchase is your best bet.

Well Fuzzface that is the idea is to replace them all. At least on the front, maybe you haven't priced out studs and lugnuts lately though..
Not everyone has money coming out their mouth like you.
the mismatch concern was more front to rear.. not replace bad ones on one wheel.. like a PO did to me..

My suggestion was more for if you have a flat tire away from home. I keep the breaker bar and socket under the seat just in case.

I didn't ask because I use a deep well socket extension and air gun. now I do need to get a thinner wall socket though because mines is too thick.. but I digress..

I also know them large nuts cant be cheap.
I don't know what you have going on but I thought you had some bad ones that had to be replaced?
I would replace them with what ever you can get from the local parts house and keep the part numbers.
Then in a moth or 2 when you have a little more change in your pocket replace a few more using that part numbers and they should match what you replaced.
Could do this till you have a complete matching set.
Have you checked out McMaster-Carr for nuts? http://www.mcmaster.com/
I don't know if they would list the wrench needed for the nut size. http://www.mcmaster.com/nuts/lug-nuts-7/

Dorman 610-300 do not fit. smh.. knurl is too small and just floats.
Lugnuts (611-061) I ordered are good fits though. I didn't want to deal with the local parts place due to not really having time to get there (11 hr days don't leave much time) but now that I'm sitting on 20 studs that won't fit..
I'll be making a trip there tomorrow to find the correct part/# and than order the rest online..
Dormans site doesn't really get specific other than stating rear axles for the larger knurl.
The largest knurl diameter they list for front is .623 (9/16-18) which is the ones I picked. good reason to own a caliper..

Dorman 610-287 work for a 86 4x4 f-250 HD. For future searchers..
The knurl wasn't the problem with the 610-300, it wasn't "long" enough to seat on the hub.
the 287 has a smooth space after the shoulder than the knurl begins.
