Here is how to attach the steel hub for the "Quick", "Alpine Pro" or "Compact" or "Sport" kits to your wheels:

• The hardware is slightly different for most US manufactured vehicles vs. foreign vehicles.
• The major difference in related to the attachment of the hub to lug nuts or lug bolts.

USA Vehicles

For many vehicles manufactured by USA based companies, replacement lug nuts are provided in the kit that are drilled and tapped to accept a bolt:

Foreign Vehicles

For most foreign based manufactured vehicles, fix clips are provided in the kit. The fix clips clamp firmly on each existing lug nut when a bolt or extension is screwed into the clip from the top of the little bell housing. When tightened, each surface of the clip tightly grips the surfaces of the lug nut:

*Note : In most applications, only one of the extensions is usually required on each lug nut.

• In installation, there is a measurement gage used to determine how many extensions are required.
• The end result desired is to attach the hub to the wheels, so that the hub is out parallel with the tire face.
• The hub is left on during the winter driving season.

!!! Remember !!!

• Only use the small torque wrench provided with the kit, to tighten all bolts and extensions in installation of the hub. The wrench provides 20 ft/lbs of torque.
• Always carry the wrench in the vehicle when the hubs are on the wheels. That is to remove the hub if you have a flat.
• Take long valve extensions off of your tire before installing the traction devices. If you leave them on, they will be cut, causing a flat tire.
• Always use the wrench provided to put on the decorative cover or to remove the cover. If you just put it on with your hand, it will come off easily and be lost.
