Upgrade & Restore Your Tire Changer's Mechanical Rigidity

The 1/2"-13" Lock Nut (Coats 8101039) is a direct-replacement mechanical fastener engineered for the primary pivot joints and cylinder mountings of professional tire changers. It features a heavy-duty steel body and a prevailing-torque nylon insert to resist backing off under constant operational vibrations and mechanical stresses.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn lock nuts are critical to protecting your primary pivots, shafts, and cylinders from structural play, ensuring your machine maintains factory-spec rigid tolerances.

Machine Location:

This lock nut is used to secure the Foot Pedal shaft pivot brackets, the Bead Breaker Cylinder rod clevis, and the tilt-back tower pivot shafts of the tire changer.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Nylon-Insert Zinc-Plated Steel: Forged steel construction finished with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating to protect against shop grease, oil, and moisture.
  • Nylon Prevailing Torque Insert: A high-durability nylon ring deforms over the male thread upon assembly, creating a tight friction lock that resists back-off under high vibration.

🔧 Pro Installer Tip:

Always thread nylon-insert lock nuts on by hand for the first 2-3 turns to prevent cross-threading. Never reuse a worn lock nut as the nylon collar deforms upon first installation and loses its vibration-resistant friction grip. Tighten securely to 35–45 ft-lbs of torque on primary hinge pins.
