THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I have a shool bus that I converted into a camper and have to replace the brake cylinders. Heard so many horror stories about the wheels. Now I know what to do. I am painting my Dab green and black

I was a kid the first time i changed a dayton rim. Took the nut all the way off. The wedge let go like a rifle shot. The shop still has the hole in the wall where the wedge hit.

That's crazy definitely have to be careful.

I was always told when messing with split rims/two piece, remove the valve stem or empty all the air. I NEVER messed with pressurized tyres and always used an inflation cage for exactly that reason. My cousin lost a leg airing up a split rim tyre. My grandpa could tell horrible stories about the same subject too.

Draining the air will do nothing in this case😂

It's much easier to loosen the nuts then swat the rim with a sledgehammer. One or two swings and your done . Plus your not in line with the wedges.

No that’s how you get the outer wheel off. How bout the inner now? Yes I’m new at this don’t come at me. The trailer I bought was manufactured when I was 2 years old.

I would just replace the whole damn wheel hub and axle if I had to just to have normal rims and not have to worry about my life everytime I do brakes or tire work 😂

Hola. Se puede convertir a sistema Dayton desde un sistema convencional?

@dirtworxsolutions 5 ай бұрын

It probably could be. You would have to get an old dayton setup and put it on.

What size socket are you using? what is the thread of the nut 1-1/8🤨

@dirtworxsolutions Ай бұрын

1 1/8 socket

Any reason why Dayton wheels are no longer used? All I see today are Bud wheels on trucks & trailers.

The new style is alot more user friendly.

Too many wheel offs on dayton assemblies,, and subpar systems,, a hard brake application w loose daytons can shear off both valve stems, and thats its own problems,,

The wheels that are used today are mostly hub piloted wheels, not Budd Wheels. Budds have essentially two lug nuts per stud. One (with the 13/16" square head also known as a thimble) holds the inner wheel on. The second nut holds the outer wheel on. Also, right side, right hand thread. Left side left hand thread.
