Hi all
I have just realised,and have been out to check my wheels and in my situation a stud aligner will not work on my wheel system as there is no way you can screw on a aligner and then slide on the wheel (see pictures)as the wheel stud is exactly the same size diameter as the hole on the back of the wheel.
Or am I missing something

The bit you can see at the back is the hub face. The wheel aligner is 22mm dia, and the wheel will come straight off over it. I had those same wheels on mine when I got it.

I've got a set of the original forum wheel aligners.

Just a point to note for whoever is going to manucacture them ..... one is longer than the other.
This is to allow the wheel to initially align up and sit on the longer aligner, then with a slight turn of the wheel to align up with the shorter one.
Saves lifting the wheel and trying to get both tools aligned at once..... one is easier than two.
Hope this is of help.

Thanks rhool but you got me at it now I will have to take the wheel off tomorrow but I am pretty certain that's not the hub as if it was there would be an awful lot of play around the stud.
When putting on the wheel it's such a struggle as there is no loosness and you have to get every stud perfectly lined up before you can slide the wheel onto the studs (I know you have to on any other car but there is always some movement on the wheels)there is no wiggling or shuffling got to be bang on.
That's ok in the drive(well it's not) but out away on an uneven road track or whatever I just couldn't do it.
Still hope your right will see tomorrow 😟

There is sufficient wiggle room around the studs to allow the nuts to fit in (they are not small as sown in the photo below)

The whole point is that the extension/adapter takes the weight of the wheel so you can align the other four without needing the arms of a gorilla.

I've only ever used one, I generally have it at the top, and when you hang the wheel on the one, it naturally hangs in the right place, so you can just slide the wheel forward over the other studs, then it'll stay quite still while you get the wheel nuts engaged. I didn't see the need for two guides when I made mine. Thumbs Up

I have made these in the past, for myself and a couple of other people. I find one aligner is more than good enough, with the tapered lead, it's really quite easy to get the wheels on and off. If you use them to take the wheels off, it stops you dropping the wheel on to the brake caliper or back plate Thumbs Up

I could be persuaded to make a batch, if there was interest? I'll price up a batch of 25 and 50 and see how it looks.



i will have one if you make a batch
