OMIX 16715.03 Left Handed Thread Lug Nut for 46-71 Jeep Vehicles with Drum Brakes

When you're maintaining a Jeep or Willys that's been around for half a century or more, even something as simple as a lug nut deserves the right replacement. This Omix Wheel to Hub Bolt Lug Nut with Left-Hand Thread is designed for 1941–1971 Jeep and Willys models equipped with left-hand threaded wheel studs. It provides a straightforward solution for replacing hardware that has been lost, damaged, rounded off, or weakened by decades of corrosion and repeated wheel service.

The left-hand thread is an important distinction on vintage Jeep applications. Unlike conventional right-hand hardware, a left-hand threaded lug nut tightens counterclockwise and loosens clockwise. Using the correct thread direction is critical to proper installation and prevents damage to the wheel stud. Because many vintage Jeeps have undergone decades of repairs, restorations, and component swaps, we recommend checking the existing studs before ordering replacement hardware.

This version is specifically designed for use with a 13/16-inch lug wrench. That makes it important to distinguish it from similar vintage Jeep lug nuts that may use a different wrench size even though the vehicle applications and thread direction appear similar. Matching the replacement hardware to your Jeep's existing wheel studs and lug nut configuration helps maintain consistency when servicing wheels on the road, in the garage, or out on the trail.

Whether you're bringing a wartime-era Willys back to period-correct condition, maintaining a classic CJ, or simply replacing a single stubborn piece of wheel hardware, this lug nut keeps the repair refreshingly straightforward. Correct left-hand threading, a 13/16-inch hex, and classic Jeep and Willys compatibility make it a practical piece of hardware to have on hand whenever vintage wheel service is on the agenda.

Fitment Note: For applicable 1941–1971 Jeep and Willys models using left-hand threaded wheel studs and a 13/16-inch lug wrench. Generally, 1948-71 models used this sizing; however, vintage applications may use both left-hand and right-hand wheel hardware, and previous repairs may have altered the original configuration. Verify thread direction, stud compatibility, and lug nut size before ordering or installation.
