FAQs
What thread sizes does this kit cover?
The kit covers M14 x 2.0mm, M14 x 1.5mm, M12 x 1.5mm, and M12 x 1.25mm wheel stud thread sizes.
Can I use this kit for HGV wheel studs?
No, this kit is designed for passenger vehicle applications. For HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) applications, please refer to Laser Part No. 8125.
Do I need to lubricate the tools?
Yes, it is essential to lubricate the threaded parts of the installer and any thread chasers with grease before use to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage.
What are thread chasers for?
Thread chasers are included to clean and salvage slightly damaged threads on wheel studs, potentially avoiding the need for replacement.
How should I store the kit?
The kit comes in an engineered EVA foam tray, which is designed for organized storage. Store the tools in this tray in a dry place to protect them.
Is this kit suitable for all types of wheel fasteners?
This kit is specifically for replacing damaged wheel *studs*, not lug nuts or bolts.
Troubleshooting
Installer tool is difficult to turn or binds.
Ensure threads are adequately lubricated with grease. Check that the correct size installer is being used and that the stud or hub threads are not damaged or cross-threaded.
Thread chaser is not cleaning the stud threads effectively.
Apply more grease to the chaser and the stud threads. Ensure the chaser is correctly aligned with the existing threads and not forced at an angle.
Stud is not being drawn into the hub properly.
Verify the correct installer is being used. Ensure the hub surface is clean and that the stud is correctly started in the hub's thread before applying force with the installer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The kit is ready to use out of the box, contained within its EVA foam tray. Select the appropriate size installer or chaser based on the wheel stud's thread.
Compatibility: This kit is designed for specific metric thread sizes: M14 x 2.0mm, M14 x 1.5mm, M12 x 1.5mm, and M12 x 1.25mm. Always verify your vehicle's wheel stud thread size before use. It is not intended for HGV applications.
Care:
- Lubrication: *Crucially*, lubricate all threaded parts of the installer tool and any thread chasers with grease before each use. This prevents galling, reduces friction, and extends the life of both the tool and the vehicle's threads.
- Cleaning: After use, clean the tools with a dry cloth to remove any debris or grease residue.
- Storage: Store the kit in its original EVA foam tray to protect the tools and maintain organization. Keep in a dry environment.
