Alloy Wheel Bolt Stud Alignment Tool

[DougX]

Astromorg: You mentioned that they are M12 bolts but I have been on some websites that when I put in my cars details, they reject it for my car. (2005 XK8)
However, I have now found a pair of Wheel Hanger Pins on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333467807822 ... 663004-14-
It states, "It can be used with any vehicle that uses wheel bolts with a thread size of M12x1.5."
I am hoping that these will do the job. What do you or Jim Mann think?

Hi Doug, there are 2 things wrong with these hangers you are looking at.
1, the thread size on your XK8 is 12 x 1.25, which would not be a problem as the site does offer this size as well, were it it not for point 2.
2, the hanger you are looking at in the advert is a male version and you need a female version. i.e. the hanger in the advert is for use with a hub that accepts bolts whilst you need a hanger that is for use with a hub that already has the studs (bolts) and therefore the wheel attaches with nuts!
Trust this is clear.

Hi Jim, that explains it fully. I will keep on looking.
