Russ,
I agree with Mike on post #8; I got one when they came out; would not make them tight; so I put a "cheater" on it
and broke the al2 handle where it threads together; save your money and go to plan B. Good luck.

Regarding best method for K O 's, I have Dennis Portka's tool and feel very confident using it,but you must follow his instructions to the letter,and you will achieve the proper 450# torque....and also put a line up mark on spinner and hub as always a visual check of the line up marks will show the wheels condition. And yes a little nosieze is necessary for proper take up,and who knows ,you may want to take the wheel off for some reason,you will be glad for the nosieze.

Re: any body tried this knock off wrench

Re Changing from Western Repops to Orig K/Hs OK After a Variety of Opinions at the Opposite end of the spectrum I decided to use The 3 Piece Wrench from LIC to only Finish or Start a Spinner On/Off>>> Always Do a Start off or Finish on with The ****** Thumper 6#....and a Piece of Hardwood.Use 3 Piece Cast Aluminum for easier turns after ****** Thump... I have Zero Confidence in the Polyuretahne One.... Decided to use a Light Coating of Anti-Sieze as opinions were YES to use and NO not to use.. Ill go for middle ground. I have no fear Spinners will come off. Lord knows how many Xs Ive taken on and off The Western Wsheel Ones with Pins and They never loosened ( Safety Pins wouldnt stop a Wheel coming off in itself...A marker will do as well) Tyhanks for Heads Up....

Neil -

You don't need the chunk of hardwood - the 6# M o t h e r -Thumper hammer won't damage your spinner ears - the steel ears are a lot harder than the lead hammer face.

Re: any body tried this knock off wrench

Your absolutely correct No Dammage so far but since I recently had KH OEM spinners Nicely Restored Still Use MT#6 with no wood but Duct Tape on ears just to be sure about not marring Thanks
