Wheel Stud Installer Kit

The V-Project Inc Wheel Stud Installer Kit M1/2x20 is designed for Ford Explorer models from 1991 to 2017. It suits DIY mechanics and residential users who need to replace pin-type wheel studs. The kit provides the tools required to press new studs into the hub without removing the bearing assembly. Professional shops may prefer heavier hydraulic equipment for high-volume work.

M1/2 x 20 Thread Capacity

The kit handles studs with a thread size of M1/2 x 20 and dimensions of 20mm by 24.9mm by 43.15mm. These specifications cover the listed Ford, Chevrolet, Lincoln and Mercury applications across the stated model years. The tool set runs out when a vehicle uses a different thread pitch, a larger stud diameter or a pressed-in bearing design that blocks access to the stud knurl.

Mechanical Press Interface

Installation relies on a mechanical press action using the supplied nuts and washers to draw the stud into the hub flange. The chrome-plated components resist corrosion during repeated use. The process stops being practical when hub clearance is too tight for the installer nut to rotate or when the stud knurl is stripped, preventing the new stud from seating fully.

Questions about this item

Will the M1/2 x 20 thread size fit the original studs on a 1997 Ford Explorer?

Yes, the kit is built for the M1/2 x 20 thread used on Ford Explorer models from 1991 through 2017.

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

After pressing a stud, check that the flange sits flush against the hub face with no visible gap and the wheel mounts without wobble.

Does the package include replacement wheel studs or only the press tool?

The kit supplies the installer tool and nuts for pressing pin-type studs; new studs must be purchased separately.
