Laser Tools has introduced a pair of specially-shaped air-chisel punches (part number 8307) 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 so 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. The air-chisel punches are manufactured from SCM440 chromium molybdenum steel.
