Setup

The VICASKY Modified Hole Distance Ruler requires minimal setup.

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the ruler from its packaging.
  2. Inspect: Before first use, inspect the ruler for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure all moving parts slide smoothly.
  3. Familiarize: Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the measurement scales and adjustable components.

Operation

The ruler can be used to measure both wheel bolt patterns (PCD) and pin distances.

Measuring Wheel Bolt Patterns (PCD)

To measure the bolt pattern of a wheel:

  1. Identify Lug Count: Determine if the wheel has 4, 5, or 6 lugs (bolt holes). Adjust the slider on the ruler to the corresponding lug count.
  2. Position the Ruler: Insert the two tapered ends of the ruler into two opposing bolt holes on the wheel. For odd lug counts (e.g., 5-lug), position the ruler such that one tapered end is in a bolt hole and the other end aligns with the center of the opposing bolt hole.
  3. Adjust for Fit: Gently slide the adjustable arm until both tapered ends fit snugly into the bolt holes or align correctly.
  4. Read Measurement: Read the bolt circle diameter (PCD) directly from the scale indicated by the slider. The scale provides measurements in millimeters (mm).

Measuring Pin Distances

The ruler can also be used to measure the distance between two pins or points.

  1. Position Tapered Ends: Place the tapered ends of the ruler against the two points you wish to measure the distance between.
  2. Adjust and Read: Adjust the sliding arm until the ends are firmly against the points. Read the measurement from the appropriate scale on the ruler.
