i was waiting for the info-mercial on it..... if it would have grenaded, and bounced off your forehead, would you have still posted the video? maybe with a mullet wig on, saying hold my beer, watch this? :LOL: BTW, i hear your compressor, there is no way it can feed an impact gun that puts out any sort of real torque, if it was, it would have spun that baby in a second, not the long period to break it loose. sounds like a smaller single stage head that can put out 125 psi max but not alot of volume |
Pat,
When are you installing the cruise control? |

I get a lower number. Just estimating things here but came up with the following:
6 lb lead hammer = 2.72 kg Moving at 11 m/s (about 25 mph) Decel time hitting spinner = 0.01 sec (10 msec). Just a guess here Decel therefore equals 1100 m/second squared Force = just under 3000 Newton’s = 674 lbF Spinner radius of about 6 inches means a torque of 335 lb-ft Mike. |
The reason I crafted this little gizmo was really pretty simple. I picked up a new set of brake pads over the Christmas holidays and it took me a good 20 minutes to get the damn front spinners off. Only three minutes to pull the cotter pins out of my calipers and replace the pads, but then I had to whack the spinners back on. My elbow hurt for three days.%/ That's when Ellie, my dog, suggested crafting that tool. My dog is a genius.:cool: Fred and Red just don't want to admit that they really want one too, but that's ok -- we still love them.;)

I know the factory engineering torque spec for Corvette KO wheel is 450 ft-lbs. But I think their threaded hub may be a bit larger diameter than the Cobra - haven't compared. Has anyone ever found an old Halibrand torque spec or a torque spec from one of the current Cobra KO wheel manufactures?

We use a 2.75” socket on our SS nuts ....torqued to 450# lbs. of torque to put them on...... And if we remove them with the torque wrench .....it takes over 600# of torque to take them off.....with the 3/4” impact and a 1/2” hose it knocks them right off.... Yes we use the impact to put them on as well..... BTW......the 2.75” Socket is standard size for the Center-lock wheels used in TransAm and IMSA.... |

Where did you get the SS nuts? I would like to get a set. Thanks, SB |

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.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...230F29710.jpeg Here’s the tools.....one socket is for the race Center-locks & the other socket is for the tie down center-locks http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...E9FB3FCD2.jpeg |
Nice stuff. Any educated guess on what it would take to twist that 1 1/2" hex bar of T6 aluminum?

Here’s a photo of the SS center-locks with the tie-down locks and the race locks

Mike something.....very well known....that’s all I can remember......but the cost back then was $100.00 per nut....stainless-steel.....and they fit our wheels perfect.....meaning the angle of the mating surface..... Hope that helps.... |
