Changing a flat tire or performing a tire rotation can be a chore, especially on vehicles with wheel bolts instead of wheel studs and lug nuts. Gaither Tool Company’s Trac Tire Jack can simplify wheel and tire removal and installation. A pivoting, rolling platform, the Trac Tire Jack can lift a wheel and tire with hand or foot leverage. The optional Roller Plate enables rotating the wheel to align the hub threads or wheel studs. Whether you want a roadside solution for safer, faster tire changes or a handy wheel service tool at your shop, the Trac Tire Jack and Roller Plate can simplify this work.
For cars and other vehicles that use wheel bolts instead of studs and lug nuts, The Gaither-Winntec Centering Bolts are like an extra hand. There are four color-coded metric thread sizes available. On our 2003 VW Jetta TDI, shown in this video demonstration, the hub-centric wheels and hubs match up quickly with the Black 14mm x 1.50mm thread pitch Centering Bolt. We now keep this Centering Bolt and Trac Tire Jack in the car’s stowage compartment for emergency road service.
