Product description

The Spring Sleeve for Coats tire changers is a protective and positioning component used within the foot pedal assembly. It is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the torsion springs that return the machine's pedals to their neutral position. This sleeve slides over the spring or its mounting shaft to reduce friction, prevent lateral movement, and protect the spring coils from premature wear caused by metal-on-metal contact. Without a functional sleeve, the spring can bind, causing the pedal to feel sticky or fail to return properly, which poses a safety risk. This small but important part ensures the smooth, fluid operation of the turntable and clamping controls that technicians rely on every day. It is an essential part of any comprehensive pedal rebuild.

Product highlights

• Reduced Friction: Enhances the smoothness of pedal operation by providing a low-friction interface for the torsion spring.
• Spring Protection: Prevents the spring coils from rubbing against metal shafts, significantly extending the life of the spring.
• Quiet Operation: Eliminates the squeaking and grinding noises often associated with worn pedal linkages.
• Durable Material: Constructed from wear-resistant materials designed to withstand the constant movement of a high-volume shop.
