Q: How can I quickly and safely separate and remove steel dual wheels that are rusted together or stuck to the wheel hub?

A: Dual steel wheels sometimes rust or corrode together, or to the hub, making removal of them from the axle difficult and time-consuming.

Wheel separator kits, such as the Ken-Tool's Dual Wheel Separator Kit, No.34549, and an impact gun make the job quick and efficient. Ideal for use on nearly any steel wheel on trucks, trailers, buses or vans, the four-piece kit includes two pullers, a pusher and a ball-bearing forcing screw for years of reliable service.

The Dual Wheel Separator Kit is a time-saving and inexpensive way to remove stubborn dual wheels. This tool will see a lot of use in tire shops and for mobile service.
