Snap-on introduces the Truck Anchor Pin Press (TAP1), especially designed to remove and replace brake anchor pins and bushings without removing the hub on 16-1/2" Q-type S-cam tractor and trailer brake systems from Dana Spicer, ArvinMeritor, Eaton, Timkin and Fruehauf. According to the company, the TAP1 also features:
A time savings of approximately 25 minutes per hub that you wouldn't have to remove.
Portability with a 3/4" impact gun, cutting time from 30 minutes down to 5.
3 times the strength and 30 percent more force output than standard comparable products.
Interchangeable pressure pads to allow the removal of a bushing, or the simultaneous removal of a pin and bushing, so you don't have to switch tools.
Retaining rings that secure pressure pads in place for more stability and control.
The maximum force transferal to pins and bushings during the replacement procedure.
A frame beveled on both sides for clearance around rivets on stamped brake "spiders."
A high strength yoke and heavy 1-1/4" x 12" pressure screw threads to move even the most difficult pins and bushings.
A shank with a reduced diameter to provide better hub clearance.
A Zerk grease fitting that lubricates and flushes dirt from the pressure screw to help maintain the life of the pin press.
