Wheel stud installer for Chevrolet Astro

This new chrome kit installs half-unit M1/2 x 20 pin studs on vehicles including the Chevrolet Astro from 1985 to 2000 and the Ford Mustang from 1965 to 2017. It also covers the Ford Aerostar, Explorer and Ranger across their listed production years. The tool set is designed for residential garage use.

Thread size M1/2 x 20 and 20 mm stud length

The kit handles studs with a 20 mm thread length and overall dimensions of 20 mm by 24.9 mm by 43.15 mm. It provides the mechanical advantage needed to press these specific pin studs into hubs without damaging the threads. Installers working with larger diameter or longer studs will find the tool does not engage correctly.

Half-unit pin stud compatibility only

The installer works exclusively with half-unit pin studs in the M1/2 x 20 thread form. It cannot be used for full-unit studs, metric coarse threads or press-in studs with different knurl patterns. Shops that service a mix of thread types will need a separate tool for each variation.

Questions about this item

Will the M1/2 x 20 thread size work with the lug nuts on my 1997 Ford Explorer?

Yes, the M1/2 x 20 thread matches the wheel studs used on the Ford Explorer from 1991 through 2002.

How can I verify the installer seats the studs to the correct depth?

The tool body measures 43.15 mm overall; when the chrome sleeve sits flush against the hub face the stud is fully seated.

Does the kit include replacement wheel studs or only the installation tool?

The package contains the chrome half-unit installer tool only; new wheel studs and lug nuts must be purchased separately.
