MY 04 C70 ang 12 S60 both have bolts, rather than lug nuts to a Fasten the wheels. It would be
Easier to use a bolt to help install the wheels like the one IPD sells for $20. Any Idea of the size for these two cars. I attempted to match at Home Depot but nothing matched . Any ideas ?

Tnx
Carl

The only hard part to getting a wheel on is if there is a pin holding the rotor on. That means 'threading' the needle in it's smaller hole.

Other than that, what is so difficult to put the center of the wheel on the hub and turning it a bit to get the top lug bolt on? It's not like you have to suspend the 40 lb wheel in the air.

I guess when I reach 80, I might have to get a wooden dow rod to make it faster. Bending over isn't much fun.

Don't forget your torque wrench!

I took my lug nuts to Menards and just bought 4 long bolts and cut the heads.

It is been a while but I believe they are 12 mm and got the 8 inches long bolts.
