Mustang GT V8-4.6L SOHC VIN X (1998)
Wheel Fastener: Description and Operation
Aluminum wheels are equipped with anti-theft lug nuts (one per wheel) that are installed during vehicle pre-delivery.
-
The key is attached to the wheel lug nut wrench stowed with the spare tire.
-
To allow vehicle service in the event the customer's key has been misplaced, a Rotunda Master Service Tool Set 501-F004 or equivalent is
available at most Ford and Lincoln/Mercury dealer service departments.
-
The key has a circular keyway that is matched to the female slot in the anti-theft lug nut.
CAUTION: Make sure the key is held square to the lug nuts. If the key is on an angle, it may damage the key and the anti-theft lug nuts. DO NOT
use a power impact wrench on the wheel hub bolt nut key.
To remove or install the anti-theft lug nut insert the key into the slot of the lug nut, place the wheel lug nut wrench on the key and, while applying
pressure on the key, remove or install the lug nut.
