Knock-Off Wrench

Hi Guys,

I always hated the thought of beating the carp outta the knock-offs whenever I had to remove a wheel.

You can buy large wooden wrenches for this purpose, but I like my idea better.

This is mainly for use at the garage because of its size, but I can remove a knock-off hub with a 1/4 turn and no damage to the knock-off.

A dead-blow hammer eases the pain a little.

A piece of carpet helps prevent scratching the paint.

Buona Fortuna,
Peter C.

I've used a lead hammer for years and my knock-offs still look like new!
 
HaHa, Yeah when my hammer got that bad a new one was in the works! (y)
