New axle staked nut air-chisel punch set
New from Laser Tools is this pair of specially-shaped air-chisel punches (part number 8307), specifically designed to easily release and then re-stake crush-type axle nuts found on many vehicles.
Using the punches with the air-chisel makes this a quick and easy procedure that reduces the chance of causing damage to the axle shaft and threads.
The kit includes a removal punch with a curved release tip to disengage the stake (crimp) and thus release the axle nut. On replacement, the second flat-bladed punch is used to reset the stake squarely and positively.
Applications include wheel bearings, prop-shaft and drive-flange stake nuts across many makes of vehicle. The punches are 178mm in length with a 10mm shank diameter. Manufactured from SCM440 chromium molybdenum steel. Use with an air-chisel or air-hammer such as the Laser 6031.
