Reply to "Wheel Stud ... stripped what to do"

I have honestly never seen a retainer quite like that, and I don’t believe it is Fuchs specific but hey........It is elegant AND it does the job so I would keep it, if for nothing else but a conversation starter.

Anyone can have a plain, old cotter pin.  But something like that?  That’s really cool.

Looks very “Graham-Paige” or “Delahaye”.

Don’t know if you need two of them on the same hub stud.......One, properly anchored, should suffice.  Stick it through the retaining plate and then crimp the side sticking through to retain it.  Run the rest over the stud and nut, through the hole in the other side of the retainer and bend the side sticking out through the retainer to hold it in place.  That’s it.  New Holland used something like that on early hay bailers.
