Steering Stem Nut Tool with Locating Pins

Brief Overview

This steering stem nut tool is purpose-built for controlled removal and installation of steering column nuts in suspension and steering assembly work. The four locating pins ensure precise alignment with the nut, preventing slip and damage to fasteners or surrounding components. The knurled aluminum barrel provides excellent grip control during operation, while the recessed hex engagement pocket accepts standard ratchet or driver attachments. For shops handling suspension work regularly, pair this tool with a multi-piece strut nut extraction set to address a full range of stem and fastener applications.

Key Features

• Four Locating Pins: Steel pins mounted on the black face plate ensure positive engagement and alignment with the steering stem nut, preventing cam-out or slippage.
• Knurled Aluminum Body: Deep diamond knurling on the cylindrical barrel provides secure hand grip and torque control without slipping, even with oily hands.
• Recessed Hex Engagement: Smooth machined central bore with star/hex-style recessed pocket accepts standard ratchet or driver tools for powered or manual operation.
• Dual-Face Design: Aluminum and reinforced rubber/polymer face plates bonded together with press-fit steel pins for durability and wear resistance.
• Bright Machined Finish: Polished inner bore and controlled surface finish reduce friction during nut engagement and removal.
