FAQs
What is this tool set primarily used for?
This set is specifically designed for removing corrosion from wheel hubs and around the base of wheel studs, ensuring a clean surface for wheel mounting.
What are the included disc sizes?
The set includes two small strip discs (40.5mm) and two large strip discs (46.5mm).
Do I need a specific type of power tool?
The set includes a quick-change handle that attaches to a compatible adaptor. This adaptor typically fits standard drills or impact wrenches.
Can I use this tool to clean the entire face of the wheel?
No, this tool is optimized for cleaning the hub and the area around the studs, not the entire wheel face.
How do I replace the abrasive discs?
The discs attach to the quick-change handle, which usually features a mechanism to easily lock and release the discs. Refer to the tool's specific instructions for the quick-change system.
Where can I get replacement discs?
Replacement abrasive discs are available under Laser Part No. 7199 (small) and 7198 (large).
Is a power tool included in the set?
No, a power tool (such as a drill or impact wrench) is not included in this 6-piece set.
Troubleshooting
Discs not spinning effectively
Ensure the disc is securely locked into the quick-change handle and the handle is properly attached to the power tool adaptor. Check that the power tool itself is functioning correctly.
Corrosion not being removed
Apply moderate pressure. If corrosion is extremely heavy, consider using a more aggressive disc or performing initial cleaning with a wire brush before using this tool.
Tool vibrates excessively
Ensure the disc is centered and securely fitted. Check that the power tool adaptor is not worn. Excessive vibration may also indicate a severely uneven hub surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
