Laser’s new Wheel Stud Thread Restorer (part no: 5216) is designed to correctly align and restore damaged wheel stud threads. The split design allows the two halves of the thread restorer to be fitted to the good thread (normally at the base of the stud). The 24mm hex adaptor is then fitted over the two halves of the repair die and wound back over the damaged portion of the thread, straightening and restoring it.

The set includes three split dies to suit the most common wheel stud or bolt sizes: M12 (1.25mm pitch) M12 (1.5mm pitch) and M14 (1.5mm pitch).

The same method is used for wheel bolts secured in a vice.

The wheel nuts or bolts will now run cleanly and safely to secure the wheel.
