Abstract
A central nut wheel mounting for securing a motor vehicle wheel with a central nut to an axle supported adapter includes a spring biased slidable pawl carried interior of the central nut that is normally locked between circumferential ratchet teeth on the adapter by a locking bolt which is actuated exterior of the nut to unlock the pawl and permit rotation of the central nut for mounting and removal of the wheel, preferably by a wrench which is adapted to torque the nut while concurrently releasing the locking bolt. The wheel is directly drivingly connected to the axle by the drive lug nuts which clamp the adapter to the axle.
