Bolt to help putting a wheel back on

[Pondrew]

But you don’t want thread the full length o

You can put Electric Shrink wrap on them to avoid scratching

I was thinking just wrapping them in electrical tape (works on my 17mm long wheel bolt socket).

I have a pair of these for the X6. I thought everybody knew about them
Someone on here used to make them, I had a pair for the Z but one snapped and I binned the other one.

Well I didn’t ..very useful..I’ll try on the Zed but may get a set for the Volvo..the main issue is with the Zed and the spacers..trying to get the wheel on with a 5mm spacer is areal pin..I use a pair of pin nosed pliers as a centre device for a thread hole..but holding that whilst balancing the wheel and then trying to get a bolt started without cross threading is vexing..

I used to use the tip of my pinky through the bolt hole in the wheel to stop the spacer from turning. It works well, but you only have two chances for it to go horribly wrong before you need to find a new technique!

I have a pair of these, makes wheel removal and refitting a lot easier.

I have the same but it hurts my fingers getting the clips from the plastic box open

Ah bless you, you poor little thing

Because I swap between winter and summer tyres on my 3 Series I bought one from Machine Monkey.

But to be honest one doesn't help much so maybe I need to buy a pair of them!

One seemed a recipe for cocking it over..I dammed the cash and bought 2

To be honest after 5 years with my 330i I wish I had had studs fitted so I'd only need to slam the wheels on then wind nuts on!

Whoever thought wheel bolts were a good idea?

Wheel studs are great; they make swapping wheels really easy. I'd just recommend caution though. When I go in to tire shops to get new tires fitted, I have to bring them dismounted. Wheels and tires only. As my car has a "wheel stud conversion" which is not what the car came with, they will not touch my Z4 (this is in the USA so ymmv).

I also just diluted my Gtechniq APC at a 5:1 ratio and about to excitedly go out and scrub the little greeny bits off my roof, again, excitement levels at an all time high ...
