(Pack of
100)
SKU:1677379 Item#: 1677379
Wheel-Checks are a loose wheel nut indicator that can identify a loose wheel nut with a simple visual inspection. When the wheel nuts are properly torqued to specs, the Wheel-Checks are then placed on the wheel nuts in a uniform pattern. Once a Wheel Nut has loosened, the Wheel-Check will become out of sequence. If there is a binding brake or seized bearing, the heat is transferred through the stud and nut. If this temperature exceeds 257 ºF, the Wheel-Check will start to blister around the circumference and eventually start to distort. The High Visibility Green assists Drivers in identifying potential maintenance concerns early.
• Provides a simple, visual means of confirming proper wheel torque in seconds
• Quickly identify a hot wheel possibly caused by bearing failure or brake drag
• Facilitates official roadside inspections
• Clearly visible at night and in bad weather (rain, snow, muddy conditions)
• Reusable
• Torque wheel nuts to proper specifications (recommended ft/lb)
• Ensure correct size by measuring unit from flat to flat
• Place one Wheel-Check over each nut with the raised collar towards the wheel
• Hold the arrow of the indicator pointing in your preferred pattern
• Push the Wheel-Checks on with a socket wrench or PVC pipe
• For disc wheel, point the point to the center following stud in a clockwise rotation
• For other wheel types, point indicators towards the hub
