Abstract
An external drive assembly is provided which conveys rotational movement to a shaft, and the shaft is adapted to be positioned substantially coaxial with the axis of the wheel hub of a motor vehicle. An adjustable drive member extends from the distal end of the shaft to the center of an adapter hub attachable to the wheel hub. Adjustable lug adapter legs are provided in which one end of each of such legs is adapted to attach to the threaded studs of an automobile wheel hub and the other end of each of the legs is provided with a cylindrical pin adapted to fit within one of a plurality of bores spaced around the peripheral edge of the adapter hub to retain the adapter leg within the adapter hub.
