"Last Chance" Impact Rated Hub Removal Bolt Kit - Astro Pneumatic

The Astro Pneumatic 78834 "Last Chance" Impact Rated Hub Removal Bolt Kit provides a robust and controlled solution for severely seized or corroded wheel hubs that resist conventional removal methods. This specialized kit is engineered to integrate directly with existing hub bolt patterns, facilitating a direct, straight-pull separation of even the most stubborn hubs using impact tools.

Key Features

• Impact-Rated Strength: Constructed from high-strength alloy steel, the bolts are specifically designed to withstand the demands of impact wrenches and drivers, ensuring resistance to stretch and deformation under significant load.
• Controlled Straight-Pull Operation: This kit threads directly into the hub's free bolt holes, or into locations where wheel studs have been removed, to apply even and precise force for hub removal. Custom press bolts feature a ball bearing end, working with included press feet to adapt to uneven knuckles and dust shields.
• Enhanced Component Protection: The controlled removal process significantly reduces the risk of collateral damage to critical surrounding components such as bearings, steering knuckles, ABS sensors, and suspension parts.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Manufactured from hardened alloy steel with precise threading, this kit offers reliability and extended service life for repeated use in demanding professional automotive and fleet maintenance settings.
• Versatile Fitment: Includes both M12 and M14 thread bolts and nuts, compatible with a wide range of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs by utilizing existing hub bolt patterns or by temporarily removing one or two wheel studs.

Applications

This "Last Chance" hub removal kit is an indispensable tool for professional repair shops, dealership service departments, and fleet service bays. It is particularly effective for separating corroded or seized wheel hubs from the axle or steering knuckle, especially on vehicles in rust-belt regions or those with high mileage where extensive corrosion has locked the hub in place. This tool streamlines the process of hub, bearing, or knuckle replacements, eliminating the need for destructive methods like cutting torches or excessive heat.
