  • 5-Lug Wheel Torque Pattern (Error in the Manual)

    Do you have a 5-lug wheel on your GD trailer? Older GD Owner's Manuals may have the wrong torque bolt pattern for the wheels. Incorrect and correct pattern is shown below. I suggest making a note of the correct pattern in your copy of the manual.

    Using an incremental method also works well. No lubricant!

      howson Thanks for posting, Howard. I've always torqued star opposites so skimmed over this section of the manual and didn't notice. Nonetheless, helpful for the next owner. (BTW, heck of a place for an error in an owner's manual.)
