Description
Attempting to pre-load an adjuster nut type differential has proven to be a common cause of incorrectly pre-loaded assemblies and/or damage to the adjuster nut or bearing journal surface. Unfortunately however, most commonly available adjuster nut tools have been designed to suit only a select size or make of adjuster nuts, and many will interfere with the overhang shape of the bearing cap, and so alternative methods such as the hammer and chisel technique are sometimes used. As a part of ARBs new Air Locker Tools range of differential service/installation equipment, these pliers have been specially designed by ARB to easily and safety accommodate not only the full ARB Air Locker range of adjuster nuts, but also most OE adjuster nuts also, regardless of size, shape and bearing cap type. The one-size-fits-all design quickly and easily adapts to all ARB and most OE adjuster nuts; Development - To ensure we meet your expectations, ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD, CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages, and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration, strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example, it is essential that the vehicle?s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan, Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements. What?s more, we?re also constantly on the lookout for new ways to improve our business practices, from distribution to customer service.
