2. Safety Information

WARNING / SAFETY INFORMATION
  1. Before installing, disassembling, replacing, or maintaining this product, the vehicle engine MUST be completely turned off and the negative battery terminal disconnected. Wait until related vehicle components are fully cooled before starting work to prevent short circuits, accidental vehicle startup, electrical component malfunctions, personal injury, or vehicle equipment damage.
  2. Wear protective gloves and goggles throughout the operation to avoid scratches, cuts, or impact injuries from sharp metal edges of bolts, bolt caps, and tools. Operate tools in a standardized manner, hold tools tightly to prevent slipping and avoid accidental injuries.
  3. Forced violent installation, over-torque fastening, and illegal operation are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Bolt breakage, loose fastening, or component damage caused by improper operation will lead to functional failures of vehicle systems, severely endangering driving safety and possibly causing traffic accidents.
  4. Keep the maintenance area clean and unobstructed; do not stack irrelevant tools, debris, or flammable/explosive materials to prevent tripping, slipping, fires, or foreign matter entering vehicle connecting parts.
  5. If you lack professional auto repair knowledge, skills, or tools, you must entrust installation and maintenance to authorized auto service centers or certified professional technicians. Do not operate blindly to avoid safety hazards and component damage caused by improper operation.

3. Installation Guide

3.1 Pre-installation Preparation

  1. Work Environment: Select a flat, well-ventilated, and well-lit workspace. Turn off the vehicle engine and allow related components to cool completely; disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent circuit interference, accidental startup, or electrical malfunctions, ensuring safe and stable operation.
  2. Tool Preparation: Prepare professional supporting tools including a socket wrench, torque wrench (calibrated to standard automotive torque), flat/Phillips screwdriver, lint-free cleaning cloth, and parts storage box to avoid losing small parts during operation.
  3. Component Cleaning: Thoroughly clean oil, sediment, rust, and impurities from the surface of the mounting holes, connecting positions, and related parts to prevent foreign matter from affecting the fastening effect and service life of the bolt cap and bolt.

3.2 Installation Steps

  1. Remove Old Parts: Loosen and take out the worn, damaged, or rusted original bolts and bolt caps with a suitable wrench. Strictly prohibit violent prying or forced twisting to avoid damaging mounting holes and surrounding vehicle parts.
  2. New Part Inspection: Check the appearance of the new bolt cap and bolt to confirm no deformation, cracks, burrs, or surface flaws, and ensure its dimensions and thread specifications match the vehicle's mounting requirements for perfect fitting.
  3. Precise Pre-installation: Align the bolt with the cleaned mounting hole, insert it vertically and gently, then screw the bolt cap into place initially. Repeatedly verify no offset or jamming, and ensure the installation direction is correct to avoid oblique insertion or cross-threading.
  4. Standard Fastening Assembly: Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolt following standard automotive repair torque standards; over-torque or under-torque operation is strictly prohibited. After fastening the bolt, press or screw the bolt cap tightly to cover the bolt completely, achieving full protection and stable fixation.
  5. Reset & Function Test: Recheck the fastening status of the bolt and bolt cap, reconnect the negative battery terminal, start the vehicle, and test related functions (such as shifting). Confirm no loosening, abnormal noise, or functional abnormalities before completing installation.

3.3 Installation Notes

  1. Do not use violent twisting, forced striking, or improper tools for installation, which may cause bolt/cap deformation, mounting hole damage, or thread slipping, affecting fastening strength and driving safety.
  2. Ensure the bolt is inserted vertically and the threads are fully engaged; cross-threading or oblique installation will lead to loose fastening and part failure, and even damage vehicle components.
  3. All bolts must be tightened to standard automotive repair torque standards. Insufficient torque may cause loosening and falling off during driving, while excessive torque may lead to bolt breakage, thread damage, or component cracking.

4. Maintenance Tips

  1. Regular Inspection: Conduct a special inspection of the bolt caps and bolts every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months. Check for no looseness, deformation, rust, thread wear, or cap damage, and confirm all fasteners are tightly fixed without hidden dangers.
  2. Cleaning & Anti-corrosion Maintenance: If the bolt caps and bolts are contaminated with oil, sediment, or impurities, wipe them clean with a lint-free cloth dampened with special auto parts cleaner. Strong acid/alkali corrosive cleaners are strictly prohibited. Apply a small amount of anti-rust lubricant regularly to prevent corrosion and rust, extending service life.
  3. Lubrication Maintenance: Apply a thin layer of high-temperature resistant anti-seize lubricant on the bolt threads before installation or during routine maintenance, to prevent thread seizing, rusting, and facilitate subsequent disassembly, without affecting fastening performance.
  4. Timely Replacement: As automotive wearing parts, bolt caps and bolts have a limited service life. If looseness, deformation, rust, thread slipping, cap breakage, or related functional abnormalities are found during inspection, replace them immediately. Always use standard specification replacement parts to ensure compatibility, fastening stability, and driving safety.
