Parts for your 2000 Daihatsu Gran move-Wheel studs nuts

2000 Daihatsu Gran Move wheel studs & nuts

Wheel-studs-nuts are absolutely relevant to the 2000 Daihatsu Gran Move. Multiple technical sources confirm the car uses hub-mounted wheel studs with separate lug nuts (not wheel bolts). These include the Daihatsu Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC), the Gran Move/Pyzar workshop manual, and mainstream wheel fitment databases and aftermarket parts catalogues used across Australia and New Zealand. Those sources list a 4×100 PCD hub using nuts on pressed-in studs, commonly with an M12×1.5 thread.

On this Gran Move, the wheel studs are the fixed, splined fasteners pressed into the hub flange. The nuts clamp the wheel to the hub face, providing the crucial clamping force that keeps the wheel centred and secure. Because clamping is what actually holds the wheel in place, clean threads, correct nut seat style (60° taper on OEM alloys/steels), and the right torque are all essential.

As part of servicing, it pays to give the wheel-studs-nuts a quick once-over at every tyre rotation, brake job, or puncture repair. Hand-start each nut to avoid cross-threading, snug them in a star pattern, and do the final tighten with a torque wrench rather than relying on an impact gun. Typical torque for small Daihatsu models sits in the 85–110 Nm range, but owners should always confirm the exact spec in the vehicle’s service data and re-check after 50–100 km of driving following a wheel refit.

Replacement becomes wise when there’s any of the following: damaged or stretched threads, visible necking of a stud, corrosion pitting on threads, nuts that feel gritty or bind, or a nut that won’t hold torque. Studs are pressed out of the rear of the hub and new ones pressed in, that often means removing the brake disc or drum for access. Match new parts to the original thread size and shoulder length, and replace suspect nuts at the same time. Avoid lubricating the nut seat or threads unless the service manual explicitly allows it, as lubrication changes torque-tension relationships. In coastal or high-corrosion environments, keep threads clean and capped with proper wheel nuts, if any rust starts, address it early and don’t chase damaged threads with the nut—use a die or replace the stud.

• Use correct seat-style nuts and the proper torque.
• Start nuts by hand, tighten in a star pattern.
• Inspect for rust, damage, or stretching at each rotation or brake service.
• Re-torque after 50–100 km following wheel removal/refit.

Popular questions

What thread size are the wheel studs and nuts on a 2000 Daihatsu Gran Move?
Most AU/NZ catalogues list M12×1.5 studs and matching 60° taper nuts for the Gran Move. Because running changes can occur, it’s smart to confirm against the VIN in the Daihatsu EPC or a trusted local parts database before ordering.

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for the 2000 Gran Move?
Typical small Daihatsu specs fall between 85–110 Nm. The vehicle’s official service data should be followed for the exact figure. Always tighten in a criss-cross pattern and re-check torque after 50–100 km whenever wheels have been off.

Can damaged wheel studs be replaced individually?
Yes. Individual studs can be pressed out and new ones pressed in. The job usually requires removing the brake disc or drum for access. It’s good practice to replace the affected nut as well and ensure the new stud matches the original length and thread pitch.
