Operation
-
Park your vehicle and jack it up using an axle stand or lift. Chock the wheels.
-
Remove the wheel whose axel thread needs rethreading. Keep the lug nuts nearby.
-
Referring to the service manual of your vehicle, choose one of the rethreading nuts (A).
-
Fit the chosen nut onto the axel spindle. Remove the nut and press it into the lager center hole on the adapter (B).
-
Secure the nut, using the hex wrench (C) to turn the hex bolt on the side of the adapter. Or you can skip this and simply use a regular adjustable wrench.
-
Connect the drive end of the adapter to a 1-¹/₁₆″ socket wrench or a ½″ rachet (not included).
-
Turn your socket wrench or rachet to create the thread. When chasing, first turn ½ turn clockwise, then ¼ turn counterclockwise. This will allow the swarf to flow into the grooves of the chaser.
-
Do the whole rethreading in the fashion described in Step 7.
-
Clean the new thread and the rethreading nut with paraffin or similar to completely remove all traces of swarf.
-
Reassemble your wheel and accessories removed in the first place. Stow everything away.
Maintenance
- Check for smooth movement and secure connections before each use. Never use this tool if any part is found to be loose, bound, worn, or damaged. Tighten, lubricate, repair, or replace all such components before further use. Only use identical parts for replacement.
- Clean the components of this kit after each use. Do not use caustic chemicals or harsh abrasives.
- If this kit will ever be unused for an extended period, clean all components, place them in their storage case, and store in a cool dry location inaccessible to children and away from direct sunlight.
