FAQs

How do I find the correct size for my vehicle?

Check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a mechanic. The correct size will be listed in the specifications or wheel section.

What should I do if my key breaks?

Contact McGard for a replacement key. Try not to use the broken key, and seek professional help for removal to prevent damaging the wheel or bolt.

Can I use these bolts on alloy wheels?

Yes, these locking bolts are suitable for most alloy wheels, provided the size matches your vehicle's specifications.

How often should I check the tightness of the bolts?

Check the bolts periodically, especially after driving on rough roads or after wheel changes. Ensure they are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

What is the key code for?

The key code is used to obtain a replacement key if you lose or damage the original. Keep the key code in a safe place separate from the key itself.

Are the McGard bolts rust-resistant?

The chrome finish offers some corrosion resistance, but it's important to clean and maintain the bolts to prevent rust over time, especially in areas with harsh weather.

Troubleshooting

Key is lost or damaged.

Contact McGard with the key code to obtain a replacement. If the key is damaged, attempt to use it carefully, but consider professional removal if it fails.

Locking bolt is stuck.

Ensure the key is fully engaged. Apply penetrating oil and allow time to soak. Use a breaker bar if necessary, but avoid excessive force that could damage the key or bolt.
