I can verify that these were available (probably 20 years ago), as I had Cragars on my 1964 New Yorker. They required a 13/16" deep socket.
Yes sir
Yessir they are off even in frustration respect the vehicle wont happen again Pop ....Thanks man!!!

not a lot of work really. the next guy to buy the car will break the studs. i replaced all of my mopars left hand studs with right ones. i have a hard enough time remembering more important ****.
I figure if the next guy breaks the studs, it's on him.
The PO of my 300 changed the studs and now every time I change a wheel on the left side, I have to remember that it's been changed to RH threads. It's an old Mopar... I'm clicking the impact to CW as I walk to the left side like every other old Mopar I've ever owned.

About 2004 I get a flat while traveling in my 67 Valiant, no spare I get the car towed to a Sears.
Flat is on the left so I tell the counter guy to put it on the work order in all caps that it has left hand studs, he said they know.
I repeat, put it on the work order in all caps, take a highlighter to it, take it personally to the tech and tell him, he said they got it.
A little while later he comes and tells me they are having difficulty getting the wheel off (after fighting with it for 20 minutes).
I said, did you tell him it had left hand lugs?
I now tell shops if you do not put my notes on the work order (and highlight it) I will take my business elsewhere.
Even in 85 they broke a stud, put a new stud in and standard lug nut and threw away the original long nut that was a factory part not available at the dealer anymore. My restoration list just started.

take one side apart and back together at a time. then you can look at the other side in case you forget or just take a picture.
