Wrong lug nut size provided with trailer?

[Zodd]

I have spent the weekend getting the trailer ready for the new season. As part of this, I decided to check the torque of the lug nuts. Per the owner's manual, they should be 110 foot pounds. So I grabbed my torque wrench bar and the Oliver-provided socket of 13/16, and to my surprise the 13/16 slips right off the bolt when I try and tighten, or loosen, any lug nuts (I tried multiple tires and lug nuts). Did Oliver really provide me the wrong size socket head?! What do others have? If you have a 13/16 have you used it successfully on a lugnut? What am I missing here? It seems I need a 3/4 socket head (sadly, I don't have one yet to verify it will work fine), but I'm shocked the socket head that came with my trailer will not work on the lugnuts on said trailer! Very happy I did not need it last season and happy I am testing this out while it sits on the side of my house! 

Hoping I am missing something here, and I can chalk this up to being dumb about this.

I did not find an Oliver supplied socket when we purchased our older hull used. It certainly 3/4” for our wheels.

Ours is used as well so maybe that is where it happened. Was still in the plastic bag so assumed it was original but bag was not sealed. Either way thanks for saying what yours is. Off to get one tomorrow.

Ours from Oliver was a double sided socket with 3/4 on one side.

I don’t recall getting a lug socket when we picked up our trailer new in 2016.  Mike

Possibly due to various threads here on the Forum - a fair number of owners have replaced the original lug nuts on "older" Ollies.

My 2016 was delivered with a lug socket and wrench (this wrench had a neat collapsible handle on it and has been use to move the Andersen whale tail attachment point into the correct position on more than one occasion).  But, I replaced the original lug nuts several years ago and now use a "deep" 3/4 inch socket with a proper torque wrench.

Yep!  We had an interesting delivery experience, a good discussion over a beer.  Hard to believe it’s been 9 years!  Mike

Oliver provides two sockets, 3/4 and 13/16.  Wheel lugs require 3/4. 

[Zodd]

What is the 13/16 for?

[Tom and Doreen]

That's a good question, I've never encountered a situation that called for its use, the 13/16 socket.  I'm sure someone on this forum knows.

Obviously I was wrong about them liking be best versus Mike - They like you BEST!

@Zodd

Could  the socket  be for the Andersonb WDH chain adjustment nuts?

Since you have a 250 TV you probably do not have Anderson WDH. Could it be for the jacks to operate them if there is no battery power?

Of course you could always call OTT and ask.

They weren't making them back then.

“….back then.”  Here’s ScubaRx back then (May 2016) on our pick up day helping the Oliver folks because of a problem with the lights on our trailer.  Blew a fuse in my truck (yes it was a Tacoma, TRD Supercharged), blew a fuse in Steve’s truck and blew a fuse in one of the Oliver guy’s truck.  We spent an extra night at the Fall Hollow B&B while Oliver worked to fix the issue.  Good times!  Mike
