KEN-TOOL part description

Features and Benefits

  • The unique “Shark Fin” bag is an extreme-duty, rubber coated, nearly puncture proof Kevlar bag which uses air pressure to create 5000 pounds of force to separate and remove stuck dual wheels off the axle studs and hubs.

  • Unlike any other dual wheel separation product on the market, it is safe for use on any wheel type – steel, aluminum or chrome – from 15- to 24.5-in. rim diameters.

  • Stuck wheels are a growing problem due to the corrosion which occurs between wheels (particularly aluminum) and steel studs and hubs.

  • The Shark Fin bag is inserted vertically between the tires near the 11 and 2 o’clock positions after the tires are off the ground and the lug nuts are loosened.

  • Compressed air is added the bag, using the attached 3 ft. inflation hose. The Shark Fin bag, rated at 150 psi, delivers 2.5 tons of expansion force at 87 psi, breaking the corrosion which prevents removal of the wheels.

  • The Shark Fin bag can also be used, with proper support cribbing, on steering axle wheels and inside dual wheels.

  • Deflated, the Shark Fin bag dimensions are 9.75” x 8” x 3/8” (25 cm x 20 cm 0.95 cm), and inflated, it expands to 5.5 inches (14 cm) (maximum).

  • The inflation tube features a slotted cap for deflation.
