Fitting McGard Black Edition wheel nuts

[salsa-king]

For a while I've wanted to swap my OE chrome wheel nuts to something better as they are starting to look tired. After seeing the write ups about alloy nuts sheering off I knew I wanted quality. The only ones to go for are McGard - obviously IMO.

 

When I went to the International Autosports show at the NEC earlier this year I came across the McGard stand, where I soon asked about their wheel nuts for my Subaru STi 330s which I wanted in Black.

 

A deal was hammered out for a FULL set (inc wheel locking nut) of the Black Edition that were subaru fitment.

 

Today I've had chance to fit them.

 

So here you go with an idiots guide to swapping your OE ones for the new Black Edition's.

 

 

Start with removing the OE locking nut

 

to be on the safe side use some lube/oil so you can get them off either next time round

 

1st one fitted.

 

2nd one will be the opposite side, then the 3rd opposite to that one.

 

4th & 5th again done as opposing sides like doing the ones previous

 

Don't forget to Torque them up to just a shade under 100Nm

 

 

I just need to full detail my car now ready for the show season ;)

I was joking about the 3in1 and lube on the nuts :)
