The HiwowSport 40100 set provides a controlled, mechanical method to separate the hub assembly from the vehicle using a drive plate, washers, a threaded insert and a screw assembly. Built from high-strength steel and finished to resist corrosion, this kit adapts to most common bolt-pattern hubs so you can service brakes, bearings or replacement hubs with less risk and less hammering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 40100 kit fit different bolt patterns?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set accommodates the most common lug configurations—5, 6 and 8 lugs—by using the drive plate and included washers to secure against the hub face.
