How many times have you struggled to get a wheel positioned with your neck craned while holding a 50 pound wheel/tire combo AND tried to get a single lug bolt started? I've done it more times than I care to admit and nearly every time the hole pattern is off and the wheel needs to be rotated or you get a lug bolt in your hands and drop it. Enter cuss words. If changing wheels is something you dread, simply buy one of these tools to take all the stress away. Once you screw this into the hub you can simply slide the wheel on and let it hang there until you can get the remaining lug bolts started and then simply unscrew it and put the last lug in its place.

Keep one of these lug bolt guide tools in your glove compartment or tool box and save yourself the struggle next time you need to change wheels. This tool is a great gift idea, too!

The aluminum lug bolt guide tools are available in M12x1.5 and M14x1.25 (shown) thread sizes. In Aug of 2006 and MINI went to a larger lug with different threads, so please select the correct size for your MINI.

Consult the tables below for the proper size tool for many popular European vehicles.
