[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model guides the stud during installation through a docking mechanism. Before installation, the guide block slightly contracts inward due to the compression spring. During installation, the guide part on the guide block guides the stud. As the stud is inserted, the spring inside the guide block is compressed under pressure, and the outer wall of the guide block fits against the inner wall of the docking groove. Further insertion into the wheel hub completes the installation. After installation, the stud fits against the arc-shaped support part of the guide block, increasing the actual contact area between the stud, the wheel hub body, and the docking mechanism, thus ensuring the stability of the vehicle during driving after the wheel hub is installed.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a hub cover mechanism to shield the outside of the docking mechanism. The hub cover mechanism uses a snap-fit ​​plate slidably connected at the end of the cover body to snap-fit ​​the hub cover snap-fit ​​groove in the mounting groove on the hub body. After installation, it can prevent external substances from entering and corroding or jamming the bolts in rainy or windy weather. At the same time, when the car is moving, the snap-fit ​​plate will engage with the hub cover snap-fit ​​groove due to centrifugal force, and it will not fall off even at high speed. When disassembling, you only need to use five fingers to push and pull the snap-fit ​​plate inward and pull the cover outward to separate it. It is easy to disassemble and assemble.
