Tool Breaks Dual Wheels Apart

Tool Breaks Dual Wheels Apart FARM SHOP Tools 31-3-11 You can loosen the most stubborn dual wheels with this tool designed by Lloyd Brubacher of Moorefield, Ontario. "It works in reverse of the snap couplers that hold the duals on the T-rail. Rather than pulling the handle into a locked position to hold the duals together, this tool pushes them apart," says Brubacher. The steel tool is equipped with a handle that acts against a long rod. Just drive the inside wheel up on a block, remove the snap couplers and then slip the base of the tool over the T-rail. Pushing down on the handle provides the leverage to extend the rod and push the wheel off. "It's a lot easier than using crowbars, wrecking bars, or log chains to break them apart," says Brubacher, who operates a tire repair shop. "The rod is threaded so you can adjust its length depending on the wheel's width." Sells for $49 (Can.) plus S&H.
