Laser Tools has introduced a new Brake Caliper Wrench set designed specifically for releasing and refitting brake caliper mounting bolts on a number of HGV applications.
These caliper mounting bolts are tightened to very high torque figures (an E18 Torx® bolt for example can be typically tightened to 480 Nm), so these are slogging wrenches, designed with a 3/4" drive and two impact striking faces, to get the bolts loose.
When refitting and tightening, each wrench usefully includes a laser-etched formula to assist in working out the correct tightening torque figures to take into account the additional length of the wrench.
Three Torx and two 12-point spline wrenches make up the set. Torx: the E18 and E20 wrenches fit MAN TGL/TGM models, with E24 fitting the MAN TGA/TGS/TGX range. The M24 12-point spline wrench fits SAF models and the M26 wrench fits DAF XF/XF95/XF105/XF106 models.
The new set, Part number 7160, is available from Laser Tool stockists.
