How to insert your axle

The concave area fits perfectly over the axle head.

With the axle Inserter end pressed firmly against the axle head, push the axle in until you can't push anymore.  The Inserter is designed to prevent you from making the wheel too tight.  It will give you nearly perfect wheel gap spacing.   It will not let you push the axle in too far.


To get a more precise wheel spacing between the wheel hub and the car body, our PRO Wheel Spacer Tool makes an ideal complementary Tool.


The Axle Inserter-Remover tool helps you Insert and Remove axles in a snap!

Tips & Hints

Before cutting your car, use a straight edge to draw lines down the center lengthwise and widthwise across your car. Then draw your car design template over these straight lines. The template and straight lines help guide your cutting on both sides of the car so everything is square.

Wheels Tip

A lathed wheel means the wheel was turned at a high speed and "sanded" with a cutting tool. Lathed Wheels are perfectly tuned around the axis of rotation giving you the highest performance.
