HOW TO USE:

1. Ensure Compatibility: Verify that the Phoenix USA 139987 lug nut has the correct thread size (9/16″ and the appropriate pitch) for your vehicle’s wheel studs and is intended for your specific Alcoa aluminum wheel model (ND20 or ND20F series).
2. Position the Wheel: Carefully place the Alcoa aluminum wheel onto the wheel studs, ensuring it sits flush against the hub.
3. Install the Lug Nuts: By hand, thread each Phoenix USA 139987 lug nut onto the wheel studs. Start by tightening them in a star pattern (crisscross) to ensure even pressure distribution.
4. Initial Tightening: Using a lug wrench or socket wrench with a 1 1/16″ socket, tighten each lug nut to approximately half of the recommended torque specification in the star pattern.
5. Final Torque: Using a calibrated torque wrench, tighten each lug nut to the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s recommended torque specification (typically found in the owner’s manual or wheel documentation). Continue the star pattern to ensure even tightening.
6. Hub Cover Installation (if applicable): If you are installing Phoenix USA hub covers, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching them, ensuring the lug nuts are properly seated and the hub cover fits securely.
7. Re-Torque (if recommended): Some manufacturers recommend re-torquing the lug nuts after a short period of driving (e.g., 50-100 miles) to ensure they remain properly tightened.

BENEFITS OF USING PHOENIX USA 3/4″ X 9/16″ LUG NUT (139987):
