Lug Nut Sockets × 5 /Lug Nut Flip Socket × 4, Extension Bar × 1/ Thin Wall Lug Nut Socket × 3 Storage Case × 1

Operation

1. Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual to determine the correct socket size. The plastic protective cases on B001 and B003 sockets are designed to prevent any damage to the area around the lug nut on your hub. If the socket doesn’t fit, remove the case by turning it counterclockwise. For B002, insert the end of the extension bar with a ball bearing into the chosen socket. They will lock tightly when you hear a distinct “click.”

2. If your car has a hubcap, remove it carefully to avoid damaging its fasteners. Locate the lug nuts.

3. Check for any locking nuts among the lug nuts. If present, use the key designed for the locking nuts to loosen them.

4. Attach the selected socket or the other end of the extension bar to a ½-inch manual or impact wrench, or to a pneumatic or cordless nutrunner.

5. Position the socket precisely onto the lug nut you intend to remove. Follow the appropriate protocols for using torque wrenches, impact tools, or pneumatic tools.

6. Start loosening the lug nuts while the car is still on the ground. Before lifting the car with a jack, attempt to loosen the lug nuts using the resistance provided by the tire’s contact with the ground. The nuts will be easier to remove since they won’t spin while on the ground.
   It is recommended to loosen the nuts in a “star” pattern, skipping the lug nut adjacent to the one you just loosened. This pattern helps keep the wheel centered and is especially important when installing the wheel.

7. Once all the lug nuts are loose, lift the car with a jack, remove the lug nuts completely by hand, and then remove the wheel to proceed with your intended task.
   Warning! If your task requires more than simply replacing the wheel with a spare or new wheel, it is essential to use a frame stand to support the car until the project is complete.

8. After servicing your vehicle, reassemble the parts and retighten the nuts by following the same steps in reverse order.
   Warning! Always tighten the nuts according to the torque specifications provided in your owner’s manual. To prevent over-tightening, ensure that the torque applied by your tools matches the specific torque requirements of your lug nuts.

9. Replace the protective cases for B001 and B003 sockets or disassemble the extension bar and socket for B002. Store them back in the storage box.

Maintenance

• Clean the tools with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent or solution after use. Do not rinse them or use abrasive cleaners or caustic chemicals.
• Check the tools periodically for any wear or damage. Repair or replace any problematic piece before further use.
• If the tools will not be used for an extended period of time, clean and lubricate them and store them in a cool dry place inaccessible to children.
