Troubleshooting
Stud bolt does not thread easily into the hub.
Check for cross-threading or debris in the hub's threaded holes. Ensure you are using an M12 x 1.5 bolt; mixing thread sizes can cause damage.
Difficulty fitting a 19mm spanner or socket.
Verify the bolt head is hexagonal and not damaged. Ensure you are using a correctly sized 19mm tool.
Bolt spins freely and does not tighten.
The threads in the hub may be stripped. The bolt is not engaging properly. This requires inspection and potential repair or replacement of the hub.
Wheel nuts do not seat properly on the stud.
Ensure the stud bolt is fully seated and that the wheel nuts are the correct type (e.g., taper seat) and size for your wheel and studs.
