🔧 THE499 Wheel Stud Pilot Pin by Thexton Industries Review

This is a tool for installing a wheel on a car that uses bolts instead of nuts. For attaching the wheels (Porsche, Audi.) I have one of each so I put one in each car.

Life saver and a must have for any mechanic. Instead of messing around trying to install a steamroller wheel and tires on my PC, this saved me so much time and effort by aligning the spacers to the hub. and Rad.

Thexton THE499 guide pins work as advertised. I've used them twice on my Porsche Boxster wheels and they make fitting the eyebolts a lot easier - holding the wheel in place while you screw in the eyebolts without having to hold the wheel at the same time. .

It's a balancing act between holding the wheel with your foot and trying to thread a bolt into the hub while maintaining perfect alignment. I will fight no more! I've only used…

You are perfect. Mounting wheels and tires on a BMW is difficult because BMW uses eyebolts instead of eyenuts. This eliminates eyebolts protruding from the wheel hubs that could be used to mount the wheel when mounted on the car. There is nothing but holes and a very thin rim of the center sleeve. Use these pins to insert them into the holes in the wheel hubs and tighten. You then simply use them as guides to slide the wheel/tire onto the car's hub. You screw in the other three eyebolts, take…
