On the rotors being reversed, you got lucky. I have actually had the lugs back off because they were mounted on the wrong side. As to using a torch to loosen the lug nuts....I found a much easier way to bust them loose. eBay has a very reasonably priced torque multiplier kit that I keep inside my truck. The kit has the multiplier and several size sockets, including the square drive!
Glad I found this !!! I just used a 50 ton gear puller on my inner duals and it's jaws ripped small pieces out of the wheel holes! I said "C'mon Man! Something has to be holding this thing on!" I get it - you unscrew the WHEEL STUDS !!! (and there are smaller fixed studs inside those)
Hey man I appreciate your work. I have a small fleet of NPRs and am needing to replace the cam sensor. Where excactly is that located? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey man I love your vids! I learned how to do brakes and adjust the parking and rears because of you. I just recently changed the front calipers on a 2016 and I am unsure of the bleeding procedure. I have the IDSS software but I am not sure if I need the truck running or not. I read a lot of different info on the web. How do you bleed brakes on the npr?
I love this channel! I'm shopping for a used NPR. It would be great if you could do a video about how to spot a good or bad NPR for sale (what to look for or avoid). I've pretty much settled on a 2000 HD diesel from Craigslist but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't worried.
Hi, Question: you mentioned to invest in a torch to help get these stubborn Lugnuts off. Not exactly sure what torch and how I would use it. Could you recommend a model number of an appropriate torch? And do I just heat up the stud in the middle of the nut or heat the outside of the nut as well? What I like about Your videos is that you give step by step instruction(even the steps that might be considered common sense to some). Thanks
You may need a pork chop wrench if the outer nut seizes to the inner combination nut stud on the rear wheels. Get one ahead of time. Good MAP gas plumbing torch will provide adequate heat to aid removal in most cases.
Can you do a maintenance video for a gas Npr 5.7. You’re very helpful because there’s not many videos in CZcams on nprs. Also, do you know where I can find my blinker flash relay. I don’t seem to find it.
Just in case i missed your answer. On drivers side that is reverse thread. Once outer lug nut is removed, will the inner stud that 21mm socket is used on be reverse thread as well. Thanks
are all the rims the same? i imagined that the outer rim had bigger lug holes so that it could go around the inner lug nut flange, but that dosent seem to be the case. does the outer rim have enough of a countersink so that it doesn't hit the inner lug nut flange, or does it ride on that flange?
They should be torqued the same (362) re torque the inner. Slightly over torque the inner with your square socket. Then use a torch to heat the outer lug nut. Inspect the lug nuts and studs for damage. Replace as needed
When loosening, you should also make sure that your socket is only engaged on the outer nut if you are using a Budd wheel socket. When loosening or tightening the outer wheel nuts I always keep the socket about 1/4 inch from touching the wheel.
@@iCONAN1 what year and motor is in it. And what’s your issue. I’m not far outside of Knoxville. Depending on the issue I may be able to help or point you to someone who can.
@@Nprdoctor 07 6.0. When I start it and go to take off, it sometimes acts like there’s no fuel. And kinda sputters for a few seconds until it clears out and then drives fine. I was thinking it’s maybe the O2 sensors?

This is helping me out quite a bit as a small business owner, thank you!
Thanks for all the videos, especially the drum breaks ones 👍🏽 driving a NPS300 in Australia. happy New Year to all
Nice work, Brother!
Love your videos! Can you make a video on how to clean EGR cooler and valve?
Thnakew so much

You look exactly like the man I bought a tiltmaster chevy npr from last month in kentucky
What impact do you use ? A handheld 3/4 or a big boy handle 1”? My breaker bar does nothing on these lugs 😄
Thank you for this. What do you recommend for inflating these tires?
I am looking at buying a 2003 NPR with a 5.7 gas and 4 speed tranny. Is that a good rig for $8000 with 70k miles no rust. thanks

Did you buy one?
I found one w 5 lug rear wheels and 15.5" tires. Can't get tires. And can't get wheels made. Must do hub or axle swap. Hopefully I find a video

Thanks for the video, what do you torque the 8x nuts to that hold the rear side shafts in?

The flasher relay is mounted behind the radio. Good luck. They do vary by year. My 1999 is a weird one. $170!!!

I've broke about 4 studs learning the hard way the reverse and regular threads 😄 fml
Will 19.5 wheels work on a 1994 NPR? Is there any reason why I can't go to larger wheels on my NPR? Thanks.
Is a 3 ton floor Jack enough to Jack front of npr to change brakes?

The rims are the same.
Do you torque the stud's to 362ft/lbs also?
Sorry but, Are those rear studs left hand thread too ???
On these trucks, all the studs will have an L if they are the driver side and that means left-hand threads front and rear.
What do you do when both lugs want to come off at the same time on the back wheels?
They should be torqued the same (362) re torque the inner. Slightly over torque the inner with your square socket. Then use a torch to heat the outer lug nut. Inspect the lug nuts and studs for damage. Replace as needed
When loosening, you should also make sure that your socket is only engaged on the outer nut if you are using a Budd wheel socket. When loosening or tightening the outer wheel nuts I always keep the socket about 1/4 inch from touching the wheel.
Where’s your shop located?
