Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Wheel studs nuts

2020 Haval H6 wheel studs and nuts: what they do and how to look after them

Wheel studs and nuts are absolutely relevant on the 2020 Haval H6. Technical references that call this out include the Haval H6 Owner’s Manual (Wheels & Tyres/Changing a Wheel section), which instructs tightening “wheel nuts” in a criss-cross pattern and specifies a torque value, and the GWM/Haval H6 Workshop Manual (Chassis—Hub and Axle), which shows pressed-in wheel studs on the hub flange. Independent fitment data commonly lists a 5x114.3 PCD with M12x1.5 conical-seat wheel nuts for the 2020 H6. Together, these sources confirm the H6 uses a five-stud hub with separate wheel nuts, not wheel bolts.

On this SUV, the studs and nuts clamp the wheel to the hub, creating the friction that carries braking and cornering loads. The studs are pressed into the hub and the nuts are the serviceable fasteners you remove and refit during tyre rotations, puncture repairs or brake work. Keeping them in top nick is key for safety and smooth motoring across Aussie and Kiwi roads.

When servicing, the golden rules are simple: start all nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten in a star pattern with a torque wrench to the spec in the H6 owner’s manual or wheel placard (many H6 models sit around 120 Nm, but always check the exact figure for the vehicle). Avoid lubricating the threads or using anti-seize unless a GWM/Haval bulletin expressly permits it—lubrication changes clamping force and can lead to over-tightening. If an impact “rattle gun” is used to run nuts on, always finish the final torque by hand.

Signs it’s time to replace hardware include stretched or rusty threads, deformed cone seats, seized nuts, or a stud that’s spinning or snapped. Because the studs are pressed into the hub, replacing a damaged one typically involves removing the brake components and drawing the stud out/in with the correct tools. Use quality replacements that match the thread (commonly M12x1.5) and seat type (60° cone) specified for the H6. After any wheel-off work, re-check torque after 50–100 km to make sure the clamp load has settled correctly—especially important with new wheels or freshly painted hubs.

• Hand-start, star-pattern, torque-wrench finish.
• Dry, clean threads, no oil or anti-seize unless specified by GWM/Haval.
• Inspect at each tyre rotation, replace damaged studs/nuts promptly.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 wheel studs and nuts

What torque should the H6 wheel nuts be tightened to?
Most 2020 H6 models are around 120 Nm, but the correct figure lives in the owner’s manual or the tyre/wheel placard on the car. Use a torque wrench and a star pattern, and re-check after 50–100 km if the wheel’s been off.

Does the 2020 H6 use studs and nuts or wheel bolts?
It uses pressed-in wheel studs with separate nuts. This is reflected in the H6 Owner’s and Workshop Manuals, which reference wheel nuts and illustrate studded hubs, and by common fitment data for the model year.

What size are the wheel nuts on the 2020 H6?
They’re commonly M12x1.5 with a 60° conical seat. Always confirm against the vehicle’s documentation or parts catalogue by VIN, as trim levels and markets can vary.
