Package Contents
- 6 x M5x0.8 Flat Head Steering Wheel Screw Bolts (Burnt Titanium Finish)
- 1 x Allen Key (for installation)
Setup and Installation
These bolts are compatible with most aftermarket steering wheel and hub applications. Ensure that your steering wheel and hub are designed to accept M5x0.8 flat head bolts before proceeding with installation.
- Preparation: Ensure the steering wheel and hub mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris.
- Alignment: Carefully align the steering wheel with the mounting holes on the hub.
- Initial Fastening: Insert each of the six PQY steering wheel screw bolts into the corresponding holes. Hand-tighten each bolt initially to ensure proper thread engagement and prevent cross-threading.
- Final Tightening: Using the provided Allen key, gradually tighten each bolt in a star pattern (opposite bolts) to ensure even pressure and secure fitment. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the steering wheel/hub. Tighten until snug and secure.

Operating Considerations
Once installed, the bolts function as a permanent fastener for your steering wheel. Regular checks are recommended to ensure continued secure attachment.
- Security Check: Periodically inspect the bolts for any signs of loosening. If any bolt feels loose, re-tighten it using the star pattern method.
- Visual Inspection: Check for any visible damage or wear to the bolts, especially after prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions.
Maintenance
The PQY steering wheel bolts require minimal maintenance due to their durable aluminum construction and finish.
- Cleaning: Clean the bolts with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the burnt titanium finish.
- Storage: If removing the bolts for any reason, store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bolts do not fit into steering wheel/hub holes. | Incorrect thread size or head style for your application. | Verify that your steering wheel and hub require M5x0.8 flat head bolts. This product is designed for specific applications. |
| Bolts feel loose after tightening. | Insufficient tightening or damaged threads. | Re-tighten bolts in a star pattern. If threads are stripped on the hub or bolts, replacement may be necessary. |
| Burnt titanium finish appears faded or damaged. | Exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning. | Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. The finish is durable but not impervious to chemical damage. |
