Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Febi Wheel Nut (Part Number: 01214), ensure the wheel hub threads are clean and undamaged. Thread the nut onto the wheel stud by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once hand-tight, use a 19mm wrench or torque wrench set to the manufacturer's specified torque for your vehicle to tighten the nut securely. It is recommended to tighten wheel nuts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
Compatibility: This wheel nut features an internal thread size of M14 x 1.5 and a 19mm spanner size. It uses a Ball Seat A/G wheel fastening. *Crucially*, always verify that these specifications match the requirements of your vehicle's wheel studs and wheels before purchasing. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a professional mechanic if unsure.
Care: The phosphatized surface provides inherent corrosion resistance. To maintain this, periodically inspect the nut for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Clean the nuts with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the surface treatment. Ensure nuts remain properly torqued, as loose nuts can lead to wear and safety issues.
