wheel hammer

[Zissel-Kreuztal@t-online.de]

I use nylon / leather hammer from simplex (type:amazonas 50). You can swap both sides against new ones. The hammer is a little bit bigger than the Thor unit. The nylon will " *thread with care" to the wheelnuts ( *said my dictionary ). lozi (TC3762)

Hi out there

thanks for the input re rubber hammers. I'll make a lead one as described as I don't want problems nor damage to my new knock ons.

When we made lead hammers we'd swedge the end of the pipe before casting to be sure the lump of lead wouldn't fly off. Bob TC4956 << thanks for the input re rubber hammers. I'll make a lead one as described as I don't want problems nor damage to my new knock ons >>

hi TABCers i can t understand all the discussion about wheel nut hammer. i never would let suffer my stub axles from an hammer. the only useful and tender thing to my TC s hubs is the wooden wheel nut spanner you can get anywhere. if somebody don t know how that looks i can send a drawing. best regards walter

Hi Walter, Good concern! Best way to keep from unduly stressing stub axel is to tap the knock-off on when the wheel is off the ground. Then when the wheel is lowered to the ground and the car's weight is on the wheel I fully tighten the knock-off with lead hammer. This way a large fraction of the impact is transferred to the ground, through the wheel and tire.

I am still looking for a wheel hammer for a TC. This is the lead headed small hammer. I don't care what condition as long as it is an original. Most of these hammers have the lead badly mangled but I will recast the lead head. Please let me know if anyone has an idea to locating one. Thanks for your help.

Doug, I have my original wheel hammer and the inserts are copper not lead. I don't recall a lead hammers in any of the TC's I have seen over the years. I've had my TC since 1956.

Doug: I have to agree with John Patterson. The TC Service Parts List in fact describes it as "Copper-headed hammer", Part No.P330/117. Richard Fritz, TC6649, Longmont Colorado

I stand corrected. The parts list does say copper headed. However, the last one I saw was lead headed and was the original tool set for an early EXU. I wonder if there were different wheel hammers provided depending on what was available at the time. Obviously the factory parts manual had the copper headed hammer as the preferred item. Another other comments or observations would be appreciated. Thanks John and Richard!
