  • Is Release Cable of BAK Revolver X2 Tonneau Durable
  • I wouldn't describe the release cable of the BAK Revolver X2 part # BAK39329 as flimsy. It's actually a rubber coated steel cable that we've not had any reported issues of breaking. If it were to break this is covered by a 3 year warranty though so BAK or us would take care of it. There isn't a replacement part for it since it's not a commonly damaged item.

  • Fit of Pewag Cam Tightening Tool PW204 on Other Brands of Tire Chains
  • The Cam Tightening Tool # PW204 is designed to fit the cams on Pewag and Glacier brand heavy truck tire chains. The tool is made from bent bar stock. I went to our warehouse and measured it for you. The cam tool has a cross section of 1/4-inch x 7/8-inch. We do not sell the Quick Grip brand so I checked the specs for a number of their tire chains that use cams, but the cam's dimensions are not provided.

  • Can Buffalo Tools Electric Car Jack be Used to Change a Tire on a 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • The Buffalo Tools electric car jack # BTEJ212 is rated for 2,000 pounds. Since it is only lifting part of the vehicle and not the whole weight of the vehicle it can be used to change a tire on your 2014 Honda Odyssey. Once you have the vehicle up high enough it should then be let down on jack stands such as # PTW41021 since jacks are not meant to hold the weight by themselves.

  • Aluminum Trailer Wheel PSI Rating
  • Trailer wheels are usually rated for much higher PSI than the tire or valve stem used, so they are not typically listed. So long as the valve stem and tire are rated for 100 psi, there should be no issue using these wheels.

  • Will Replacing a Trailer Axle to a higher Capacity Axle Increase the Trailer Capacity
  • A trailer axle is the most important factor in determining the trailer capacity but there can be other factors such as the suspension components, wheels and tires, and even the trailer frame itself. You would probably need to beef up the frame if you are adding a second axle or axle-less suspension system or replacing the axle with an axle-less system such as # ASR5200S01. And you would also need wheels and tires to match the higher capacity. You would need to use hub # 8-213-5UC1-EZ with...

  • Looking for a Replacement 8 Inch Tire and Wheel Combo with 2.75 Inch Pilot Hole
  • All of our 8 inch wheels have a 2.5 inch pilot hole diameter. To determine if they will work on your hubs, you will want to measure the base of the hub bore with a precise measuring tool such as a dial caliper. If the base of the hub bore has an outer diameter that is slightly less than 2.5 inches, then the Kenda Tire and Wheel Combo, # AM30120, will fit. If the outer diameter is exactly 2.5 inches or more, then this wheel will not fit.

  • Potential Problems From Damaged Trailer Spindle
  • Trailer spindle and bearing tolerances are pretty tight, usually down to a thousandth of an inch. Use of emery cloth on a spindle to remove scoring damage might remove enough material to affect the fit of the replacement bearing. You can be off the original dimension by perhaps 1/1000th of an inch but not much more than that. If you have a precision caliper that can read to 1/1000th of an inch you can check that repaired spindle's diameter where the bearings ride (and use another undamaged...
