Wheel Stud Service Kit

Brief Overview

This wheel stud service kit delivers a proven, mechanical solution for removing and installing seized wheel studs without risking damage to hubs, seals, or wheel bearings. The kit's design handles both disc and drum brake applications, making it an essential addition to any shop that performs routine wheel service, brake work, or suspension repairs.

For shops that regularly service wheel bearings and hubs, this tool pairs well with specialized wheel hub bearing removal tools to create a complete brake and suspension service capability.

Key Features

• C-Frame Press Design: Heavy-duty black steel frame distributes force evenly across the hub assembly
• Threaded Forcing Screw: Long, coarse-pitch screw with hex drive end for controlled, progressive stud removal and installation
• Multiple Adapter Cups: Black-coated metal sockets in various sizes to accommodate different wheel stud diameters
• Steel Sleeves and Pins: Precision-ground silver steel components ensure accurate centering and load transfer
• Protective Press Cap: Distributed load point prevents seal and bearing damage during operation
• Triangular Mounting Plate: Allows multi-point engagement with hub assembly for stability
• Foam-Lined Carrying Case: Organized blue plastic case with molded handle keeps all components protected and accessible on the job

How It Works

The kit operates on a simple mechanical principle: the C-frame anchors to the hub while the threaded screw applies controlled, gradual force through the adapter cups. This progressive approach prevents the sudden shock that causes seal rupture or bearing damage. The triangular mounting plate and steel sleeves ensure force is distributed perpendicular to the stud, eliminating the bending stress that strips threads or breaks studs.

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Frequency Application: Wheel stud service is a routine repair across all vehicle types and brake systems
• Damage Prevention = Repeat Revenue: Shops that use this kit avoid costly hub replacements and warranty callbacks, increasing customer satisfaction and repeat business
• Compact Storage: The foam-lined carrying case takes minimal shelf space while projecting professional capability
• Universal Compatibility: Works on most disc and drum brake assemblies, reducing the need for multiple specialized tools
• Price-Point Advantage: Positioned as an affordable alternative to hydraulic or specialized equipment for independent shops

Why This Matters

Seized wheel studs account for thousands of shop hours annually. Traditional methods—impact tools, heating, or brute force—frequently result in damaged hub assemblies, cracked seals, or destroyed wheel bearings. A single hub replacement ($200–$400) erases the profit margin on multiple wheel services. This kit pays for itself the first time it prevents that damage.

The mechanical advantage built into this design means less physical strain on technicians and more consistent results, regardless of experience level.
