Troubleshooting

Locking nut will not thread onto the stud.

Verify that the thread size (M12x1.5) and seat type (12mm radius) match your vehicle's requirements. Ensure no debris is present on the stud or inside the nut.

Cannot remove the locking nut.

Ensure you are using the correct McGard key. Check that the key is fully inserted into the locking nut. If the key is damaged or worn, contact McGard customer support for assistance.

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:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
  2. Hand-tighten the McGard locking wheel nuts onto the appropriate studs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
