Value Collection 97236 Wheel Stud M12x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97236 is an M12x1.25 wheel hub bolt stud designed for securing wheel assemblies to hub flanges on passenger vehicles and light-duty applications. The stud features an M12x1.25 thread pitch, a knurl diameter of approximately 0.505 inches (12.83mm), an overall length of approximately 1.634 inches (41.5mm), and a shoulder length of approximately 0.551 inches (14mm). The knurled shank presses into the hub flange bore to resist rotation and maintain proper seating under load. This type of fastener is replaced by automotive technicians, brake and suspension specialists, and experienced DIYers during wheel bearing hub assembly service or after stud damage from over-torquing or cross-threading.

Wheel studs of this specification are used in hub-and-rotor assemblies where M12x1.25 fine-thread fasteners are required. Typical installation scenarios include front or rear hub replacement, brake rotor service, and wheel bearing jobs on vehicles that use this thread size and pitch. The 14mm shoulder length positions the stud correctly through the hub flange for proper lug nut engagement depth. Always verify the knurl diameter and overall length match the original stud before installation.

Key Features

• M12x1.25 thread size and pitch for fine-thread hub applications
• 12.83mm knurl diameter for press-fit retention in hub flange bore
• 41.5mm overall length provides adequate lug nut thread engagement
• 14mm shoulder length for correct flange positioning
• Compact and lightweight at approximately 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement wheel stud for vehicle hub assemblies requiring M12x1.25 thread specification with a 12.83mm knurl diameter and 41.5mm overall length. Verify all dimensions against the original stud before installation.

Installation Notes

Wheel stud replacement is typically performed by automotive technicians or brake and suspension specialists. Before service, secure the vehicle on jack stands, remove the wheel, and if necessary remove the brake rotor or drum to access the hub flange. The stud is press-fit into the hub bore using a lug nut and washer method or a hydraulic press. Do not weld studs or use impact tools to drive them in, as this can damage the hub bore or compromise stud integrity.
