  • Description

    The Thexton 14mm Wheel Stud Pilot Pin (499) is a specialized tool designed to simplify and improve the safety of wheel installation on vehicles that use lug bolts. This product is engineered to serve as a guide, providing a stable and secure way to hang the wheel on the hub. By screwing directly into one of the wheel bolt holes, the pin acts as a temporary stud, eliminating the need to balance a heavy wheel on the small lip of the hub while trying to insert the first lug bolt. This saves time and effort, and more importantly, it helps prevent potential damage to the brake rotor, hub, or the wheel itself. The pin is made from high-grade steel for reliability and is compatible with a range of European vehicles that commonly use M14 wheel lug bolts, including Audi, BMW, VW, Mercedes, and Porsche. Whether you are a professional technician or a car owner performing your own maintenance, this pilot pin is an essential addition to your toolkit for a smooth and effortless wheel mounting process.

    KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

    • Effortless Wheel Installation: This tool acts as a guide, allowing you to easily hang the wheel on the hub, which makes aligning the bolt holes and inserting the lug bolts a quick and straightforward task.
    • Reduces Risk of Damage: By providing a stable hanger for the wheel, it prevents the wheel from slipping or falling, which could otherwise cause scratches or damage to the wheel, brake rotor, and other vehicle components.
    • Safe and Secure: The pilot pin is made from high-grade steel, ensuring it can support the weight of the wheel and tire, providing a secure way to hold the assembly in place.
    • Wide Vehicle Compatibility: The M14 x 1.5 mm size is specifically designed to fit a variety of vehicles with 14mm lug bolts, including popular models from manufacturers like Audi, BMW, VW, Mercedes, and Porsche.

    SPECIFICATIONS:

    • Part Number: 499
    • Size: M14 x 1.5 mm thread
    • Material: High-grade steel
    • Included in Product: The product is typically sold as a kit that includes two (2) pilot pins.

    HOW TO USE:

    • After the lug bolts are removed, screw one or two of the Thexton pilot pins into any of the bolt holes on the wheel hub. Using two pins in opposite positions will provide additional stability.
    • Carefully lift the wheel and hang it onto the protruding pilot pins. The pins will hold the wheel securely in place, aligning it with the hub.
    • Once the wheel is properly positioned, you can easily thread the remaining lug bolts into their respective holes.
    • Remove the pilot pins, then install the last one or two lug bolts.
    • Finally, use a torque wrench to tighten all the lug bolts to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended specifications.
