The 8101018 Structural Flat Washer (3/8") is a premium, flat-bearing component designed to distribute the clamping force of pivot bolts and rods evenly across professional tire changers. It provides a hardened, low-friction bearing surface that reduces localized wear on steel brackets and prevents rotational play in your mechanical linkages.
Over years of heavy-duty shop usage, washers can suffer from severe surface scoring, rusting, or warping. Replacing thin, corroded washers with these zinc-plated steel upgrades restores proper thrust clearances and ensures smooth, non-binding movement of your foot pedal linkages and cylinder pins.
This 3/8" flat washer is positioned directly on the Foot Pedal Pivot Linkage rods, the Clevis pins of pneumatic cylinders, and the clamping table slide links inside the tire changer cabinet.
This universal replacement flat washer is verified to fit the following Coats Rim Clamp® tire changer families:

Before sliding this washer onto your pivot pin, use a wire brush to remove any rust, corrosion, or old crusty grease. Apply a light film of high-quality white lithium or silicone grease to both flat faces of the washer during reassembly. This reduces friction drag on the pedal linkages, prevents squeaking, and protects the carbon steel from moisture traps.
