Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify Correct Size: Before purchasing, confirm the specific thread size (e.g., M14x1.5), shaft length, seat type (radius or conical), and hex size required for your vehicle's wheel hubs. This information is typically found in your car's owner's manual or by consulting a vehicle specialist.
- Installation: Remove one existing wheel bolt at a time and replace it with a McGard locking wheel bolt. Hand-tighten the locking bolt first, then use the provided key and a torque wrench to tighten it to the manufacturer's specified torque setting for your vehicle.
Compatibility:
McGard offers a wide range of locking wheel bolt sets, such as the SU (Standard) and SL (Ultra High Security) ranges, to fit various car makes and models. Always verify the product's specifications against your vehicle's requirements before purchase.
Care:
- Clean the locking wheel bolts periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
- Store the unique key and the security code card in a safe place, away from the vehicle, to prevent loss.
