Step 1: Gather Your Tools
You'll need:
- A jack and jack stands
- A torque wrench
- A breaker bar or impact wrench
- The correct socket set
- Thread locker (optional)
Step 2: Preparation
1. Ensure Compatibility: Double-check that the spacer matches your vehicle’s bolt pattern and center bore.
2. Clean the Hub Surface: Remove rust, dirt, or debris to ensure a flush fit.
3. Inspect the Spacer: Ensure there are no defects or cracks.
Step 3: Installing the Wheel Spacer Adapter
1. Lift the Vehicle: Use a jack to raise the wheel off the ground and secure it with jack stands.
2. Remove the Wheel: Use a breaker bar or impact wrench to loosen and remove the lug nuts.
3. Attach the Spacer: Align the holes with the vehicle’s hub studs and slide the spacer on.
4. Secure the Spacer: Tighten the provided nuts to manufacturer-recommended torque specs.
5. Apply Thread Locker (Optional): For extra security, apply a small amount of thread locker to the spacer nuts.
Step 4: Reinstall the Wheel
1. Place the wheel back onto the spacer’s studs.
2. Hand-tighten the lug nuts.
3. Lower the Vehicle and Torque the Nuts: Use a torque wrench to tighten in a star pattern for even distribution.
Step 5: Final Checks
- Re-torque After 50-100 Miles: Spacers may settle over time, so check and re-tighten as needed.
- Inspect Regularly: Look for signs of loosening, unusual noises, or vibration.
