Product description

This Kit for Locking Hex Rod is a core replacement for the locking mechanism that secures the vertical tool arm on a tire changer. The hex rod must be locked firmly in place to maintain the correct clearance between the mounting head and the wheel rim. If the locking system becomes worn, the rod may slip during operation, potentially causing the tool to hit and damage the wheel. This kit includes the necessary components to restore full locking force, ensuring the vertical arm stays exactly where it is set. It is a critical safety and quality-control part for any professional tire changing machine.
