Lug Nuts

Lug nuts are threaded fasteners that secure wheels to a vehicle's axles. They are typically made of steel and have a hexagonal head that is designed to be tightened with a wrench. Lug nuts come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to use the correct size for your vehicle.

Types of Lug Nuts

There are two main types of lug nuts: standard lug nuts and locking lug nuts. Standard lug nuts are the most common type and are tightened with a standard wrench. Locking lug nuts have a locking mechanism that prevents them from being loosened without the use of a special tool. This makes them more secure than standard lug nuts, but they can also be more difficult to remove.

Lug Nut Removal and Installation

To remove lug nuts, you will need a wrench that is the correct size for your lug nuts. Place the wrench on the lug nut and turn it counterclockwise until the lug nut is loose. Repeat this process for all of the lug nuts on the wheel.

To install lug nuts, you will need a wrench that is the correct size for your lug nuts and a torque wrench. Place the lug nuts on the wheel and tighten them until they are snug. Then, use the torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.
