    What size are the lug nuts on a 2000 freightliner fld? Which direction to they turn on the right front steer tire? I have tried 1 1/4" socket, 1 1/2", and 1 3/8" and none of them fit. Thanks!

    Thanks for the help! I will try to get it figured out in the morning. Have to get it changed before the tire store closes at 12 because I have a run to make early Monday morning.

    Try a 33mm or 1-5/16". Clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Recommend you use a 1" impact... anything else, you want to verify with a torque wrench, and you're looking for at least 450 ft/lbs.
    A lot of trucks use the same size socket for the nuts on the tie rods, as well.
