KNOCK OFF REMOVAL TOOL fits JAGUAR & ASTON MARTIN
Instruction & Benefits for two eared wire wheeled cars
Tired of damaging spinners, spokes, and hitting the car's body?
There had to be a better way than beating the spinner with a hammer!
Short History: My machinist lost his home and shop and all of our equipment was destroyed during the CA. fires. We were unable to continue making any more of my tools. I tried several other versions, but fell short, until now.
52MM TOOL KITS CONTAINS:
An aluminum tool, that is leather wrapped to protect all metal to metal contact, a colored plastic insert to protect the face of the spinner, a 1 1/4″ CM-MO high impact socket.
The tool is engraved with left/ right sided UNDO directional arrows.
An embossed storage bag to keep the tool Kit organized in the car, a wheel chock to block the wheel from spinning on the floor, and a tool storage bag.
The benefits, you will never beat on your spinner with a hammer again. You will only need a 50 to 250 ft/lb torque wrench.
Part # 752 Price $283.00 plus $17 shipping
The total cost of $300, is delivered anywhere in the USA.
The Kit contains: A leather wrapped tool, protecting all metal to metal contact, a plastic colored insert to protect the face of the spinner, a 1 1/4 inch socket with a 1/2 inch drive, to be able to attach your breaker bar to UNDO and your torque wrench to tighten, a wheel chock to block the tire from spinning on the floor, and a embossed black storage bag to keep the Tool Kit organized in the car. UNDO right and left directional arrows are engraved on the tool.
I used CNC milling Technology to create a design the will eliminate the need for a hammer. The tool has a bridge you simply hang the tool on the spinner’s that faces upward, push the tool flat on the other ear and turn to the torque settings. The bridge keeps the tool from falling off while in use.
I used CNC technologies to create a smooth finish that is leather lined to protect any metal-to-metal contact, a plastic-colored insert to protect the face of the spinner, an engraved UNDO left & right sided directional arrows, a 1 1/4 inch CM-MO impact socket with a 1/2" drive, a wheel chock to block the wheel from spinning on the floor, and an embossed storage bag to keep the tool kit organized with the car. Yes, it’s that easy and simple!
The two ear angle shapes are different on the left and right sided spinners. My tool has both ear angles milled into the side walls of the tool, making the tool work on both right & left sided spinners. This tool snugly fits and will not twist off under torque.
Pictured Using a Wheel Chock
While using a breaker bar or a torque wrench, always be pushing down, rather than pushing or pulling over to know what force you have applied.
Torque Settings: In my Lotus Elan’s printed manuals, it posts a torque setting of 200 to 220 lb/ft. It is only, and I mean the only printed torque settings I’ve been able to find.
A local shop owner has always tightened his spinners with three good whacks with a lead hammer. We tested his “3 good whacks method”, and he hit within 3 to 4 pounds of 210 each time.
The standard accepted removal method is to use a lead hammer. Loosen the spinner, while the car is still on the floor, jack the car up and remove the spinner and wheel. Replace the wheel and finger tight the spinner and let the jack down and tighten with a hammer. Others have said for a perfectly seated spinner to the wheel roll the car a short distance and re-tighten with a hammer.
Chocking your wheel solution
Chocking your wheels: For a much easier method, simply just jack the car up just enough so the wheel just turns, place the chock on one side of the tire to loosen and move the chock to the other side of the tire to tighten. Then let the jack back down for a perfectly seated spinner to the wheel. It’s that simple!
UNDO Directions:
FIRST, follow the UNDO direction on the spinners
UNDO right, turn clockwise towards the front of the car
UNDO left, turn counter clockwise towards the front of the car
To TIGHTEN both sides, turn towards the rear of the car
Sizing your spinners:
This is a question I get about what size spinner tool to order. MM is not a millimeter measurement. 52mm Jaguars measure about 4” across the base diameter, not the ears. 42mm MG and other British car spinners measures about 3 1/2 “.
Some Jaguar spinners are not all made the same. Some have thicker sides, taller domes, and angles of the ears can vary. My tool’s design has calculated all of the manufacturer’s different variations, for a perfect fit.
Storage for all two eared Knock Off tool Kits.
Included is a black embossed storage bag.
An option is an Aluminum tool carrying case.
Not all Jaguar spinners are made the same, depending on who manufactured them. Some have thicker side walls, higher domes, and the ear angles are slightly different My tool’s design has calculated all of the manufacturer’s different variations, for a perfect fit.
When your spinner’s ears are facing upward, you’ll need a sidewise hammer swing and could glance off and damage something.
Keep your spinners looking new.
Not like those hammer dinged spinners.
