This assembly allows the hood to open and close smoothly during the balancing cycle, and it often includes the mounting points for safety switches that prevent the machine from spinning unless the guard is down. Safety is a priority in any shop; a failing shaft assembly can cause the heavy wheel guard to drop unexpectedly or prevent the machine from starting, leading to frustration and potential injury. This assembly is precision-machined from high-strength steel to support the weight of the guard and withstand the repeated opening and closing movements of a busy service day. By replacing a worn or bent shaft assembly, you restore the smooth, controlled movement of the safety hood, ensuring both the operator's protection and the efficient operation of the machine. It is designed for easy installation into the balancer's frame with standard tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Strength Steel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to support the heavy wheel guard and withstand thousands of operation cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth Pivot Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-machined shaft ensures the safety hood opens and closes with minimal effort and no binding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Enhancement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restores the mechanical integrity of the wheel guard system, ensuring proper operation of safety interlocks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect OEM Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to the exact dimensions of Snap-On and Hofmann wheel balancers for a perfect fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a comprehensive replacement for the shaft and associated mounting components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e h6413153a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheel Guard Shaft Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Grade Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shaft assembly is a direct replacement for the wheel guard (hood) pivot used in various Snap-On and Hofmann wheel balancers.
