OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
L The sockets are designed to have a
press fit on the 1" square drive. Sockets
and 1" square drives should never be
modified to allow a hand press fit or a
slip on installation. Older sockets that
slide freely on square drives should be
replaced.
L IMPORTANT: If there are magnetic
parts and rubber in the socket under
no circumstances should it be heated
to assist the installation onto the square
drive. Heating the socket will compromise
the magnet's holding power and destroys
the epoxy bold that holds the magnets in
the socket.
L Place anvil shank, clutch cover bearing
and clutch cover on lower aluminum
support block. Lubricate the square
drive and internal square on socket with
appropriate press fit lubricant. Most anti-
seize, anti-galling compounds will work.
L Place the anvil shank along with the
clutch cover assembly and support block
in a press, adjust height accordingly.
L Align the cross holes for the socket pin on
both the socket and square drive. Insert
top press block in or on socket. Making
sure the stacked assembly is square;
begin pressing the assembly together
using low pressure. As the socket is being
installed it may be necessary to go to the
high pressure setting on your hydraulic
press.
L When the cross holes on the socket
and square drive near alignment, install
socket pin in socket. While applying side
pressure to the pin continue to press
the socket onto the square drive. When
the holes are aligned the pin will slide
through easily.
L Socket pins can be staked in one of two
ways.
⚪ One is to use two 45 deg. center
punches. Place one punch point up in
vice jaws and clamp down. With the
help of an assistant, position the socket
pin in the center of the socket, place
socket and pin on punch point in vice.
Using a second punch and hammer
strike the top of the socket pin. This
action should be enough to stake both
the top and the bottom of the pin,
repeat operation if necessary.
⚪ The second method of staking socket
pins is the use of a staking tool. A
staking tool can easily be produced
by incorporating a fixed bottom stake
point, a square or "U" shaped yoke
and a sliding top stake point or punch.
This tool can be used with either a
hammer or a press.
L After the socket pin has been staked,
any part of the pin protruding out of the
socket will need to be ground flush. This
can be done with a right angle die grinder
and a medium Scotch-Brite wheel. Avoid
grinding any titanium surfaces of the
socket. Pay close attention not to leave
any rough or high points that may cause
hand injury during use.
L Apply some of the metal strip on the
outside diameter of the socket to
coincide with the locking pin to prevent
any unexpected slippage of the pin.
L Match
coordinating
assemblies and guns. Re-install the
socket and clutch cover assembly on
wheel gun using the four screws and new
lock washers.
