Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before installation, verify that your vehicle's wheel studs have an M12x1.5 thread size, the wheel seat is a 12mm radius, and the required hex size for the locking nuts is 19mm. Incorrect specifications will prevent proper fitment.
Installation:
- Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
- Hand-tighten the McGard locking wheel nuts onto the appropriate studs.
- Use a torque wrench set to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque setting for wheel nuts to tighten them securely. Always follow the sequence recommended by your vehicle manufacturer for tightening wheel nuts.
- Store the unique key in a safe and accessible place, separate from your regular tools.
Care:
- Clean the nuts periodically with a damp cloth to maintain their appearance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the chrome finish.
- Ensure the key is kept clean and free from dirt or debris to prevent damage to the keyway or the key itself.
