ECS Tuning: How To Properly Use A Wheel Hanger Guide Tool (12x1.5 Thread)

Wheel Hanger Installation Guide Tool Available At: http://www.ecstuning.com/ES5965/?utm_source=Youtube

No more crossed arms while reaching for wheel bolts while one arm holds the wheel on the car.

Also known as wheel hangers, these remarkably easy to use tools simplify installation and removal of wheels from your European car. Install the wheel hanger in the bottom bolt hole (6 or 12 o'clock position) of the hub before putting a wheel on. The extra long shaft aides in holding and aligning the wheel while you install the remaining wheel bolts. The end is knurled for easy installation and removal by hand.

@Compadelterre385 They do use lugs. This was a demo of how to use the wheel hanger guide (bolt looking thing). Most US cars have lugs built into the hub, European cars (Audi/VW/BMW, etc..) screw the lugs into the hub. But it can be difficult to line them up sometimes. That's what this tool is for.

I did not know European cars dont have lugs but bolts instead! Wow
