Instructions For Use

WARNING

Blades A or B must not be used on hardened nuts or

studs. Using the centre punch provided test the locknut to be
removed for hardness.

If the centre punch makes a pop mark
without deforming, proceed as per
instructions. But if the punch blunts -

DO NOT USE BLADES A OR B AS
DAMAGE TO THE BLADES WILL RESULT.

Make sure that the rest of the wheel nuts
are all fitted and tightened.

Where possible test in centre of nut face.

HOLD THE TOOL FIRMLY ONTO THE LOCKNUT FACE, INLINE
AND ON CENTRE.

Ensure blades are firmly in contact to prevent bounce against
the nut face. Build-up the force of impacts gradually onto

the tool with a 3lb club hammer until
the teeth are embedded into the end
face to allow a solid grip.

Technique is the answer not brute
strength!
Trust the tool to do the job.

OUTER SHROUD

TOOL BODY

(A)

USING AN IMPACT DRIVER

push in & twist

Using the Impact Driver in the
approved manner, ensure the Blade is
still located into the ‘grooves’ – apply
inward and anticlockwise-rotation
pressure to the Impact Driver before
each strike with a 3lb club hammer.

Only use the one directional high
torque impact driver supplied with
the Locking Wheel Nut Remover Kit.

(B)

USING A BREAKER BAR

Breaker Bar - Push in and down.
If the tool slips recut and try again.

TIP

 - Support the tool with a small

jack, get someone to push down on
the bar, at the same time you
hold-push the tool to the wheel.

Do not lift the tool

REMEMBER - It’s easy if you are doing

with the jack!

it right! Simply - DRIVE IN / TWIST OFF

Fig: 1

The end that best locates in the centre
piece of the locknut should be used.

Fig: 2

Once the correct end is determined,
insert the Blade C into the tool body
and re-fit the Outer Shroud.

Fig: 3

Insert the assembled tool into the
wheel recess and locate tool into
locknut pattern.

Fig: 4

A typical example of a “moulded”
Blade C. For best results, ensure Blade
C is cut to a minimum depth of 3mm
and where possible always use high
torque Impact Driver.
