Product description

The Hex Rod Retainer Kit is designed for the swing-arm assembly of a tire changer, providing the hardware needed to secure the hex rod within its guide. This retainer prevents excessive play or movement that can lead to inaccuracy during the mounting and demounting process. In a high-volume shop, the swing arm experiences significant stress, and the retainer hardware can become fatigued or loose over time. This kit ensures that the hex rod remains properly seated and supported, allowing the mounting head to track accurately along the tire bead. It is a necessary part for any technician looking to overhaul a swing-arm style machine.
