2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
3.1 Choose the correct sized split die for the thread to be restored.
3.2 Stretch the die apart, manoeuvre it over the damaged thread and
allow it to close over the good part of the thread at the back of
the stud.
3.3 Place the adaptor over the wheel stud and rotate it until the two
pins within the adaptor pass into the apertures between the two
halves of the die so that the die is entirely enclosed within the
adaptor.
3.4 Place a 29mm socket onto the hex part of the adaptor and attach
a suitable driving tool. A 'T' bar arrangement would be ideal.
3.5 Rotate the tool anti-clockwise to draw the die up the thread
towards the damaged area. Continue turning anti-clockwise to
restore the thread, occasionally backing off a quarter turn to clear
the die. Continue the process until the die comes off the thread.
3.6 Test the thread by carefully screwing on a wheel nut.

Unique design allows for the two halves of the thread restorer to be fitted on the good thread and wound back
over the damaged thread, normally at the end of the stud. Traditional thread restorers rely on luck for the restored
and undamaged threads to align. Kit contains the three most common wheel stud thread sizes. Supplied in
storage case.
Thread sizes: 12 x 1.25mm, 12 x 1.5mm, 14 x 1.5mm. Adaptor Holder: 29mm Hex Drive
