FAQs
What tools do I need to install these studs and nuts?
You will need a wrench or socket of the appropriate size, and possibly a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Are these studs and nuts suitable for all types of trailers?
They are suitable for a wide range of unbraked hubs with 4 studs and 100mm PCD, as well as mini equivalent. Always check compatibility with your specific trailer.
What is the correct torque specification?
Consult your trailer or vehicle's owner's manual for the correct torque specifications. Over-tightening can damage the studs, while under-tightening can lead to loosening.
How often should I check the wheel studs and nuts?
Inspect the studs and nuts regularly, especially before long trips, for any signs of damage, wear, or loosening.
What does PCD mean?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which refers to the diameter of a circle drawn through the center of the wheel studs.
Can I use these studs with different nuts?
It is recommended to use the nuts provided with the studs to ensure proper fit and performance.
Troubleshooting
Wheel nuts are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Check the threads for damage or debris. Use a thread chaser or wire brush to clean the threads. Ensure you are using the correct size wrench.
Wheel studs are loose after installation.
Verify that the studs are properly seated in the hub and the nuts are tightened to the correct torque. Re-torque the nuts after the first few miles of driving.
Rust or corrosion on studs or nuts.
Clean off any rust with a wire brush. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads before installing the nuts to prevent future corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: Ensure the M12 x 1.5 thread size and 100mm PCD are compatible with your hub before installation.
- Installation: Use the correct tools to press or insert the wheel stud into the hub. Properly align the stud.
- Tightening: Tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specifications recommended by the vehicle or trailer manufacturer. Over-tightening or under-tightening can lead to damage or failure.
