SUBJECT:
LUG BOLT LOCKS
15" LIGHT ALLOY WHEELS





Lug bolt locks are now available for the 15" light alloy wheels. Each kit includes four lug bolt locks, two safety lock sockets (1), and mounting instructions (Figure 1).





An identification number (arrow) for the safety lock sockets is included with the mounting instructions (Figure 2). This I.D. number must be specified with the part number when reordering a socket for a customer. To have a record of the socket number, we recommend to affix the I.D. number to The inside front cover of the maintenance booklet for easy accessibility.

NOTE:
Do use a power tool to tighten/loosen the lug bolt locks, as this may damage the safety lock socket. Tighten the lug bolt locks manually with a torque wrench to 110 Nm.
