Operating Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to remove a wheel hub assembly:

1. Attach the Drive Plate: Secure the Hub Removal Plate (40110) to the wheel hub using the provided hardened washers (40080) and the vehicle's existing lug nuts. Tighten the lug nuts firmly with a wrench to ensure the plate is stable.
2. Insert Threaded Component: Place the Threaded Insert (40090) into the central opening of the Hub Removal Plate.
3. Engage Forcing Screw: Insert the Screw Assembly (43670) through the threaded insert. Turn the forcing screw until it makes contact with a solid surface on the vehicle's suspension or chassis.
4. Apply Force: Gradually apply force to the forcing screw. You can use a wrench, impact wrench, or a drill/hammer to assist in turning the screw. The screw will push against the solid surface, thereby pressing the hub assembly out.
5. Even Removal: To completely and safely remove the hub, ensure that the forcing screw pushes from at least two different solid points. Avoid applying pressure from only one point, as this can damage the tool or the hub assembly. If the hub is particularly stubborn, alternate pressure points.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MOCW 40100 Wheel Hub Remover Tool:

• Clean all components thoroughly after each use to remove dirt, grease, and debris.
• Inspect the threads of the Screw Assembly (43670) and Threaded Insert (40090) for any signs of wear or damage. Lubricate threads lightly with appropriate grease before storage.
• Store the tool in its original packaging or a suitable toolbox in a dry environment to prevent rust.
• Replace any worn or damaged components immediately to prevent tool failure or injury.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the MOCW 40100 Wheel Hub Remover Tool, consider the following:

• Difficulty in Hub Removal: Ensure the lug nuts securing the drive plate are sufficiently tightened. If the hub is extremely frozen, apply penetrating oil and allow it to soak before attempting removal again. Ensure you are pushing from at least two different solid points to distribute force effectively.
• Tool Thread Damage: Excessive force or improper alignment can damage the threads. Always ensure the forcing screw is aligned correctly with the threaded insert and the contact surface. Avoid using excessive impact force if the screw is not turning smoothly. If threads are damaged, the tool may need replacement.
• Lug Nuts Not Securing Plate: If the provided washers or existing lug nuts do not provide enough thread engagement, ensure you are using the correct size lug nuts for your vehicle. In some cases, alternative washers might be needed, but always prioritize secure attachment.
