Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hand Tools


  • What is Cable Lock Support Arm For Kuat Transfer 1 Made of
  • The top support portion of the Cable Lock and Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Rack # ATSCLK11011 is indeed made of plastic. I can't say definitively if a thief can quickly break it off with a hand tool as that's not something we try, but it is indeed mostly a deterrent. For something that doesn't have the same type of lock that can be broken off, RockyMounts has a cable lock that can't be removed with a hand tool, and would be difficult to cut due to its hardened steel, 5/16" width...

  • What Does Right Hand Thread Mean Of Phoenix USA Wheel Center Cap
  • The Phoenix USA Wheel Center Cap part # PXQ2010 has right hand threads (threads run clockwise) but that does not mean there is a left and right hand cap. You will need to check the bracket of your existing cap to see if there is a L at the end of number on the bracket. If there is a L then you will need a left hand thread. This is common on Freightliners. If you do not have the L for "left hand thread" you can use the PXQ2010. The cap installs with the included bracket on the axle plate,...

  • Can HitchGrip Carrying Tool be Used for Blue Ox Weight Distribution System
  • The HitchGrip Carrying Tool # 303-HG-712 will work just fine for your application as long as you have the 2-5/16" hitch ball. The 4-1/4" recommended drop that me mention on the specs side of the page has to do with making sure the handle for the HitchGrip will clear the body of your hitch head. If the shank for your weight distribution hitch is sitting too tall then it will make contact with your hand while you're carrying it. I've attached a photo for your reference.

  • Does the Curt Hitch for a 2023 Honda CR-V Work with Hands Free Liftgate Feature
  • In regards to using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13397 on a 2023 Honda CR-V, you may still be able to use the hands free life gate feature but you would be limited to areas away from the receiver.

I would also like to point out that any hitch for this vehicle is going to pose the same issue, there isn't one that works...
