My old ones must have been reused at least 3 times by previous owner. Glad to have replaced them with these.

New is better!

Perfect fit and much safer now. Easy to install.

These are great

Some people reuse them every time they take off their front brake rotors. I replace mine. These are good quality

Worth the price

I've purchased these a couple of times. Why reuse old nuts that are already peened when the price of neones are reasonable? Good quality in my opinion, I'd recommend this product when servicing your front wheel bearings.

This is a little nuts

They fit and do the job. Bad thing is you have to replace these every time you service the front bearings. I eventually upgraded to Mercedes lock nuts that work great and can be reused over and over.

Good nut.

Works as intended. It’s a nut.
