X-Nut
Compact hand-operated thread restoration for damaged automotive and light-truck wheel-stud threads.
X-Nut gives technicians a compact, pitch-specific method to restore damaged wheel-stud threads by hand before replacing studs, chasing with cutting dies, or removing components. Designed for common automotive and light-truck sizes, it reforms damaged thread material back toward functional geometry and helps preserve the original stud or bolt where restoration is appropriate.
A compact hand-operated thread restoration tool for automotive and light-truck wheel studs and bolts. Each tool is matched to a specific diameter and pitch, with variants covering common metric and inch wheel-stud sizes.
Select the size that matches the stud diameter and thread pitch, place it on the damaged section, and turn the tool by hand. For added leverage, the optional extra-deep 41 mm tubular wrench can slide over the stud and attach to the tool.
The process is based on controlled cold forming rather than cutting. The tool reforms displaced metal instead of removing additional material, helping recover nut fit and preserve the wheel stud or bolt where damage is localized and recoverable.
