Pack of 12 U-nuts for brake work
This pack contains 12 extruded regular U-nuts sized 5/16"-18 with coarse threads and a black phosphate finish. They are designed as speed nuts for quick installation during brake repairs. The phosphate coating adds corrosion resistance for under-vehicle use.
Verify thread and clearance before fitting
Check that the mounting points on the vehicle accept a 5/16"-18 coarse thread before ordering. Confirm there is enough space for the regular U-nut profile to seat fully. These are new items shipped directly from the manufacturer.
Phosphate finish resists rust on brake hardware
The black phosphate coating protects the steel nuts from moisture and road salt encountered at wheel locations. The extruded regular U shape allows fast hand-starting on studs. A pack of 12 covers multiple corners on most jobs.

Questions about this item
What does the 12-pack include and do I need any additional hardware?
The pack contains twelve 5/16"-18 coarse-thread U-nuts with a black phosphate finish. No extra hardware is included; mating bolts or studs must be purchased separately.
How do I decide between the regular U style and other speed-nut types?
Choose the regular U style when you need a standard clip-on nut for flat or slightly curved panels. Other profiles such as J-nuts or flat speed nuts suit different edge geometries.
What holding power can I expect from the 5/16"-18 coarse thread once installed?
The coarse 18-thread pitch engages quickly in sheet metal and resists vibration loosening, providing reliable retention for brake-component brackets and similar automotive fastening tasks.
