The set is designed for a wide range of vehicles including BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Peugeot & VW Group cars and vans. Specific thread sizes included are M12 x 1.25, M12 x 1.5, M14 x 1.25, M14 x 1.5, M15 x 1.25, and M16 x 1.5mm.
Each color corresponds to a specific thread size: Red (M12 x 1.25), Green (M12 x 1.5), Yellow (M14 x 1.25), Light Blue (M14 x 1.5), Blue (M15 x 1.25), and Black (M16 x 1.5mm). Refer to your vehicle's manual or measure your wheel bolts to confirm the correct size.
Yes, these pins are also suitable for use when fitting wheel spacers, helping to align both the spacer and the wheel correctly onto the hub.
They are manufactured from S45C steel, hardened to HRC 38-42 for durability, and feature a black phosphate finish for corrosion resistance.
The set comes supplied in a blow-moulded case, which is ideal for safe and organized storage, protecting the pins from damage and loss.
While the set includes M14 x 1.25 and M14 x 1.5 pins, it's crucial to verify your specific vehicle's bolt thread pitch. Not all M14 bolts are the same.
Ensure you are using the correct thread size for your vehicle. The pin may be cross-threaded; remove and try again carefully, ensuring it starts straight.
Check that the wheel's bolt holes are aligned with the hub. The guide pin should be fully seated in the hub, and the wheel should not be obstructed.
Stop use immediately. The pin may be undersized for the application, or excessive force is being applied. Ensure the pin is correct for the vehicle and that the wheel is not being forced onto it.
This is normal wear and tear with regular use. The underlying S45C steel is durable. Clean and store appropriately to minimize further wear.
Setup: Select the guide pin that matches your vehicle's wheel bolt thread size. Remove one of the existing wheel studs and screw the guide pin into its place on the hub. Hang the wheel onto the guide pin, align the remaining bolt holes, and then secure the wheel with its lug bolts. Once the lug bolts are hand-tightened, remove the guide pin and install the final lug bolt.
Compatibility: The set includes pins for common thread sizes: M12 x 1.25 (red), M12 x 1.5 (green), M14 x 1.25 (yellow), M14 x 1.5 (light blue), M15 x 1.25 (blue), and M16 x 1.5mm (black). These are suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles including BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Peugeot, and VW Group models. Always verify your vehicle's specific bolt thread size before use.
Care: After use, clean the guide pins with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Store the pins in the provided blow-moulded case to prevent loss and protect the black phosphate finish.
