What vehicles are these guides compatible with?
These guides are designed for vehicles with 12mm x 1.25, 12mm x 1.5, 12mm x 1.75, and 14mm x 1.5 wheel studs. They are particularly well-suited for Mercedes models.

What should I do if the guide breaks?
If a guide breaks, replace it immediately to avoid damaging the wheel studs or hub. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for a replacement.
Troubleshooting

Ensure you are using the correct size guide for your vehicle's wheel studs. Check your vehicle's specifications or consult your owner's manual.
