Product description

This Grade 5 Bolt is a critical fastener measuring 1/2-13 x 10-1/4 inches, specifically engineered for the bead loosener assembly on Coats tire changers. Its extraordinary length is required to pass through the main pivot points of the bead-breaker arm and cylinder, serving as a primary structural axis. Because this bolt is subjected to extreme shear and tension forces every time a tire bead is broken, using a lower-grade or generic bolt can lead to catastrophic failure and operator injury. This Grade 5 replacement provides the necessary tensile strength and elasticity to handle professional shop use without snapping or stretching. If you notice signs of bending or thread damage on your current pivot bolt, immediate replacement is necessary to maintain machine safety and function.
