Product Information
Full details
The B-G Racing Steering Wheel and Brake Pedal Lock package is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts performing suspension or alignment work. Its key benefit is providing a secure, one-person method to maintain vehicle alignment and brake application, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. A potential caveat is the need for careful adjustment to fit specific vehicle interiors. This package includes two essential tools: a steering wheel lock to keep the wheel centered during adjustments and a brake pedal lock to hold the brakes engaged.

FAQs
Can I use the steering wheel lock on its own?
Yes, the steering wheel lock can be used independently for tasks that require keeping the steering wheel stationary.
Is the brake pedal lock safe for all brake systems?
The brake pedal lock is designed to hold the pedal down. Always ensure the vehicle is properly secured (e.g., with parking brake, wheel chocks) before performing any work, even when the pedal is locked.
What is the height adjustment range for the steering wheel lock?
The steering wheel alignment lock has a height adjustment range of 120mm to 295mm.
How does the brake pedal lock prevent damage?
The arms of the brake pedal lock are coated to prevent scratching or damaging the brake pedal itself or surrounding trim.
Can one person perform alignment checks with this kit?
Yes, the steering wheel lock helps maintain alignment, and the brake pedal lock secures the brakes, allowing a single technician to perform tasks more efficiently.
What types of vehicles are compatible with this kit?
The adjustable nature of both tools makes them compatible with a wide range of standard passenger vehicles. Very large trucks or vehicles with unusual pedal/steering setups may not be fully compatible.
Troubleshooting
Steering wheel lock does not grip firmly
Ensure the height adjustment is correctly set to firmly engage the steering wheel without causing excessive pressure. Check for obstructions around the steering column.
Brake pedal lock slips or doesn't hold pedal
Verify the height adjustment is correctly positioned against the pedal and the floor. Ensure the pedal and floor surface are clean and free of debris for maximum grip.
Adjustment mechanism is stiff
Clean any dust or debris from the adjustment mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts and work the mechanism back and forth.
Tool marks vehicle interior
Ensure the coated hook arms and wide base are positioned correctly and that no abrasive debris is trapped between the tool and the vehicle's surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables accurate, one-person alignment adjustments.
- Prevents accidental steering wheel movement during service.
- Holds brake pedal securely for consistent testing or static positioning.
- Adjustable design fits most passenger vehicles.
- Protects vehicle interior components from scratches and damage.
Cons
- Requires careful initial setup and adjustment for optimal fit.
- May not be suitable for vehicles with highly unusual steering column or pedal configurations.
- Two separate tools need to be stored and transported.
- Brake pedal lock may require occasional re-adjustment on longer jobs.
- Steering wheel lock's effectiveness depends on steering column access.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Steering Wheel Lock: Position the wide base on the floor in front of the seat. Adjust the height of the hook arms to securely grip the steering wheel. Ensure the wheel is centered before locking.
- Brake Pedal Lock: Place the device against the brake pedal. Adjust the height mechanism to apply firm pressure to the pedal, engaging the brakes.
Compatibility:
The steering wheel lock has a height adjustment range of 120 - 295mm. The brake pedal lock is also height-adjustable. These ranges make the tools suitable for most standard passenger vehicles. However, extremely deep-set pedals or unusually shaped steering columns may present limitations.
Care:
- After use, wipe down both tools with a clean, dry cloth.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent rust or corrosion.
- Periodically check the adjustment mechanisms for smooth operation. Lubricate lightly if necessary.
