Benefits & Instructions Without Using a Hammer
This Borrani tool kit fits Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and other cars that use three ear 42-size spinners
Instructions and use of an aluminum tool. It is shown without leather to show how the tool contacts the outer edge portion to UNDO the spinner. The flat inner portion grips the spinner to tighten. The tool has been engraved with UNDO directional arrows and grips both the right & left side of the spinner's ears. The tool has a Bridge to hang the tool on the spinner's ear that faces upward. Push the other ear into the tool. Use the kit's socket to attach your breaker bar on to the tool and just turn to UNDO or tighten. The bridge frees both hands and keeps the tool from falling off while changing a tire. It simples, eliminates the need to use a hammer.
The Kit Contains: Aluminum polished tool, that is leather wrapped to protect any metal-to-metal contact, has a colored plastic insert to protect the face of the spinner, a high impact 1 1/4" socket, a wheel chock to block the wheel from spinning on the floor, when using the added leverage of a breaker bar. A black embossed storage bag to keep the Kit with the car. It also has an optional aluminum carrying case.
It also has an optional aluminum carrying case when purchased with a tool kit.
Torque Setting: In a Lotus owner's manual has the only settings I have been able to find. That was 200 to 220 fi/lbs. of torque. All others only recommend using a hammer. Hard to get a Torque setting with a hammer.
A local shop owner, who has always used a hammer with 3 good whacks. We tested his method with our tool, and he hit within 3 to 4 lbs. each time at 210 lbs. He did say, when using a breaker bar, the added leverage caused the wheel to spin on the floor. He suggested blocking the wheel.
The Standard Tire Removal Method, When Using a Hammer.
Is to loosen the spinner with a hammer while the car is still on the ground, jack the car up, remove the spinner and wheel, replace the wheel and finger tight the spinner. Let the jack down and tighten with a hammer. Drive the car a short distance and retighten with a hammer. Some say that the spinner will self-tighten when driving. That is true, if you don't brake too heavy before the spinners are fully tightened.
Changing a tire made easier. 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 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 or lifting the breaker bar for a better feel of what torque you are applying.
UNDO Directions:
FIRST use the directions on the spinner and engraved directions on the tool.
UNDO right side, turn clockwise towards the front of the car.
UNDO left side, turn counterclockwise towards the front of the car.
TO tighten, turn both sides to the rear of the car.
Warning on Wheel Splines.
No matter how tight the spinner are, worn splines may need replacing.
