Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required for the keys themselves. Select the appropriate key that matches the pattern on the locking wheel nut. Ensure the key is fully seated onto the nut. Connect a suitable 1/2" Sq drive tool (e.g., breaker bar, torque wrench) to the drive end of the key or the included 17mm socket.
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for BMW and Mini vehicles equipped with security spline and Ribe locking wheel nuts within the specified size ranges (30/13PT to 40/23PT). It is not designed for use on other vehicle makes or models, or for standard wheel nuts without security patterns.
Care: To maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the set:
- Clean After Use: Wipe each key clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grease.
- Store Properly: Keep all keys and the socket in their original case or a designated tool organizer to prevent loss and damage.
- Avoid Over-Torque: Use the appropriate force; excessive force can damage the keys or the locking nuts.
- Inspect Regularly: Check keys for any signs of wear or damage before each use.
