This knob allows technicians to manually adjust and lock the height of the vertical slide bar, ensuring the mount\/demount head is positioned perfectly relative to the wheel rim. Frequent handling and the corrosive atmosphere of a shop can cause original knobs to strip, seize, or become difficult to grip. This replacement knob features a nickel-plated finish for exceptional corrosion resistance and a knurled surface for a secure hand-tightened lock. Restoring this simple part improves the precision of the machine and prevents the vertical arm from slipping during the mounting process, which could otherwise damage the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality nickel plating prevents rust and ensures smooth threading even in harsh shop environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for comfort and maximum torque when locking the vertical slide by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Threading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened internal threads resist stripping, providing a long-lasting and secure lock for the slide bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhances the appearance of the machine while providing critical functional reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e am8181771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits a variety of Coats tire changer models with a vertical slide locking mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the same product or an OEM-Equivalent that meets the highest standard of the OEM with warranty that will be a direct-fit.
