Wheel hanging tool

Archer-s · 01-16-2018, 02:41 PM

Having a look around for a wheel hanging pin tool, not sure if I am searching for the wrong thing, but can only find ones listed in America???
Postage seems to be steep, more than the pin??

Anyone know of a UK seller? Or are they called something different here?

Wheel lug guide tool? Wheel alignment tool?

Try those

I bought one of those, never use it though, just takes extra time and doesn’t really make the job easier!

Cheers for the answers, ordered 2 of the eBay ones,

will use them to fit my 704m, they seem a lot lighter than I remember the 403m’s being, could be the tyres which are the Goodyear’s that everyone raves about, or maybe I am getting stronger!!

I have one of those and find that it does make wheel removal and refitting easier especially over my front BBK where the wheel/caliper tolerances are much tighter.

Damn useful if you have spacers though!

I do have spacers, they stay stuck to the brake disc/hub.
