Benefits & Instructions for Ear-less Jaguar spinners.
Jaguar made some cars with an ear-less type spinner that fit years between 1968 to 1972? It came with a bronze part that needed a hammer to use. The small ears made it difficult to use with a hammer.
My first design fit over the bronze part and had a 1/2" drive breaker bar was to design a tool that fit onto the bronze part and had a 1/2" drive opening that could use a breaker bar to undo and tighten the spinners. A better idea was to eliminate the bronze tool part completely.
The kit contains, an Aluminum polished ear-less tool, that is engraved with UNDO directional arrows, a 1 ¼” high impact socket, a wheel chock to keep the wheel from spinning on the floor, and an embossed storage bag.
Torque Settings,in a Lotus Elan manual has the only torque setting I’ve been able to find, showing 200 to 220 ft/lbs. of torque. All other sources only recommend using a hammer.
A local shop owner, who has always used a hammer to UNDO his spinners with three good whacks. We tested 3 whacks method using our tool with a breaker bar. He hit within 3 to 4 pounds of 210 each time. He did say by using my tool with a breaker bar, the added leverage causes the wheel to spin on the floor. He suggested blocking the wheels.
The standard removal method using a hammer. is to loosen the spinner with a hammer while the car is still on the floor, jack the car up, remove the spinner, the wheel, replace the wheel and then finger tight the spinner, let the jack down and tighten with a hammer. Jaguar guys say to drive or roll the car for a short distance and re-tighten with a hammer for a perfectly seated spinner to the wheel. That is true of you don't get on the brakes hard before they are fully tightened.
An easier way to change a tire without using a hammer
Use my wheel chock by jacking the car up so the tire just turns. Place the chock on one side of the tire to UNDO and then move the chock to the other side of the tire to tighten, then let the jack back down for a perfectly seated spinner to the wheel. It's that simple!
When using a breaker bar, Always be pushing down rather than pulling it over or lifting it up to know what force you applied.
Warning on Hub splines. No matter how tight the spinners are. Worn splines my need replacing for safety
