I Can Remove My Spinners With One Finger

[Morris]

Here’s a photo of the Stainless Steel knock-off nuts....because when you are changing tires & wheels at the track this is the only way to go.....plus you can turn the regulator up on the nitrogen to get more power if they get tight.




Here’s the tools.....one socket is for the race Center-locks & the other socket is for the tie down center-locks

Nice stuff. Any educated guess on what it would take to twist that 1 1/2" hex bar of T6 aluminum?

I have the same spinner removal tool you have ...and can tell you on my brothers Cobra.....we put a 1” x .125” wall thickness bar that was 7’ long and stood on it to break loose the spinner and the hole where the bar inserted into the tool was not elongated. I know the shock of the impact has an effect on the tool. But your impact did not sound like it was hammering like it could and that is because you are feeding it with a 3/8” air line.....therefore you are not hitting it with the power of a real 3/4” impact gun....probably like a 1/2” gun.....and short burst are better then long burst....

You are correct. But that's an easy fix, and one I will certainly make.

If it removes the spinner now.....I don’t think I would be in a hurry to change it....especially if the tool is in question.....

Hmmm, point taken. OTOH, how will I ever know how much torque it will take if I don't blow it up?
