Frequently Asked Questions

Which device is suitable for checking and adjusting tire pressure?

A hand tire inflator with a pressure gauge is ideal for checking and adjusting tire pressure. It allows the current tire pressure to be read directly, and air can be added or released as needed. The Leitenberger hand tire inflator has a measuring range of 0 to 10 bar and enables both inflating and deflating the tire. This makes it suitable for professional use in maintenance, tire service, and seasonal tire changes.

Why should the wheel hub be cleaned when changing the wheel or brake disc?

Rust, dirt, and other deposits on the wheel hub flange and mounting surface can prevent the wheel or brake disc from sitting cleanly and flush. Thoroughly cleaning the contact surfaces helps ensure the components are seated correctly and can prevent problems such as vibrations, wheel run-out, or seized components. For quick and even cleaning, special wheel hub files can be used.

For which vehicles is the RNS 01_LR wheel hub sander suitable?

The RNS 01_LR was specially developed for vehicles with wheel studs and a 63.4 mm wheel hub flange. This includes, for example, corresponding models from Ford and Volvo. The grinder cleans the wheel hub flange and lower contact surface in a single operation and is driven by a standard drill. Before ordering, it should be checked whether the wheel hub design and diameter are compatible with the tool.

Which replacement sanding pads are compatible with the RNS 01_LR wheel hub sander?

Suitable replacement sanding pads for the RNS 01_LR wheel hub sander are available separately. The spare part is offered as a set and can be replaced as the existing pads wear out. This allows the main body of the wheel hub sander to be reused without having to replace the entire tool.

What are the Ford lug nut double box wrenches used for?

The special double-ended wheel nut keys are designed for Ford wheel nuts whose metal cap has been damaged or is missing. For 19 mm wheel nuts, a version with 18.5 and 19.5 mm is available. For 21 mm wheel nuts, there is a corresponding version with 20.5 and 21.5 mm. Thanks to the two sizes, the wheel nuts can be loosened even if their original outer contour has changed due to a damaged or missing metal cap.
