Glad to help.

You’re welcome

You have some wedges tightened more than others. One way to fix problem is to Just take two off and go back to three in a triangle pattern. Look how far each is pulled in and try and get them close to the same. After that spin tire and see if it wobbles. If it still does, spin slowly until the tire goes out toward you and pull that wedge in more. Once you get bit close out the other two back on and start tightening each evenly.

@@qualitymovers4573 man you're awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

Lug wrench or breaker bar with short extension will work. It will just take a little longer. After you snug all the wedges, you will need to put a little pressure on tire to keep it from spinning.

Yes you can do them by hand. Just use a similar technique for tightening then down. Just use a four way or breaker bar.

@@qualitymovers4573 Thanks Man !

@@qualitymovers4573 I meant mount Tire on Rim.👍🏻

@@nopro5433 yes, but it's hard to get on wheel. I use a strap or starting fluid to blow on. Of course I recommend that for safety reasons!🤷🏻‍♂️

He never "Torqued" them, that would require a Torque Wrench. He did star pattern by hand but yep he didn't with the gun, wonder why, I have ocd so I have to

I personally have never torqued them. I either use a electric or battery impact rated at 250 ft lbs(one rated at more ft lbs will snap bolts). You must be sure threads are clean and watch wedge as you finish tightening bolts. The wedge needs to sink in the wheel just a little to hold it on. Most bolts are 1/2 course thread, but some are fine thread 1/2. Most hardware stores or tractor supply will have something that will work. The bolts that normally come with axles take a 7/8 socket, but the ones you get at hardware store take a 3/4 socket. They will work fine. If you want more contact between bolt and wedge just get some flat washers.

You can tighten by hand, but it’s more difficult. Just make sure the threads are clean and when the wedges get snug let off of the jack just enough that the tire won’t spin. Then just go to every lug and tighten. Make sure the wedges are firmly seated in the wheel.

Harbor freight has a 1/2 electric impact that works well and is cheap.

They do make a kit, but there are several different types of axles with different length spindles and different size bearings. You would have to be certain your axles would work with the kit.

I have worked at places which have taken a standard car or truck rim, cut out the center section, and used it as an 'adapter' to hold the open center wheels to the tire machine. Sometimes it worked good, other times not. Depending on how stubborn the tire is.

It’s an electric impact from harbor freight. I believe it’s rated at 250ft lbs. I also use a dewalt battery powered rated at 1200 lbs breaking strength, but it is so powerful that I use it on medium power. If you use one to powerful it can snap the bolts.
