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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Friction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enhances the smoothness of pedal operation by providing a low-friction interface for the torsion spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents the spring coils from rubbing against metal shafts, significantly extending the life of the spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates the squeaking and grinding noises often associated with worn pedal linkages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from wear-resistant materials designed to withstand the constant movement of a high-volume shop.\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 8181872\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e am8181872\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 8181872\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits most Coats Rim Clamp tire changers, including the 50, 60, and 70 series X-models.\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.
