I can't find the information I need about torquing my wheels

[debgary12]

Thanks all for your help so far. I just tried a 13/16 and it's too small. I guess I need to try 15/16. Looking to see if I can find labels on the axle and / or find my serial number so that I can contact GD.

And while you have the torque wrench out you may want to retorque your U-bolts

This is something that needs to be done annually and I'll bet most owners don't do it. I was shocked at how loose the ubolts were on a previous 5th wheel when I went to change the axles. 10 years and I never checked the ubolts. They were probably in the range of 25 ft/lbs.

Everything seems to be based on lug size, but I don't know how to know that either! Also, I don't know what size of socket to use. What I know is that I don't have a socket that fits it snugly. Do I need a special kind of socket?

Pick up a 6 point socket set from Harbor Freight or equivalent, if you are using a 12 point socket they are always sloppy. It may not help if they have thin steel covers over the lug nut to keep them pretty, they will add to the sloppiness.

If the lug nuts have a chrome cap, they may be 1/16 larger hex. So 7/8 inch hex.
