Review on OTC 7077 Axle Stud Plier by James Duffield

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It was in the wallet

Trying to remove the tapered washers from the Kodiak rear axle bolts proved an impossible task. After much practical consideration, none of which worked or made any sense at all, this tool looked like the answer, like watching someone remove a conical washer, although my common sense said otherwise. There is no way you would flare out the conical washer screwed into the hole which is pressed against the screw shoulder and hub hole. So maybe I missed something? After spending $35 I waited a few days only to find out I was right. One star for being able to remove the washer from the bolt after having to remove the entire bolt and then screw it back in. Don't waste your money, they're overpriced anyway, but Revain is cheaper if you want to try.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
