Every brake disc manufacturer recommends grinding the wheel hubs flat before changing the brake discs or brake drums. This means mechanics can avoid imbalances. Since many customers complain all too often that their vehicle wobbles following brake service. This is because only when the wheel hub is completely smooth is the bearing surface perfect for the brake disc or brake drum.
Even if every mechanic wants to be a quick as possible: any mechanic who thinks grinding the wheel hub and wheel centering is not important is saving time in the wrong place. The contact surfaces of wheels and wheel hubs are thoroughly cleaned with wheel hub grinder from KS Tools. And they are cleaned very quickly. All you have to do is hold the rotating attachment briefly in the right place. The treated parts then shine again.
Grinding with the Black „Biscuit“
A wheel hub grinder set consists of a disc-shaped attachment on which large grinding discs are fastened with Velcro. The black porous “biscuits” are very wear-resistant: one disc is enough for about 100 vehicles. Wheel-changing professionals use the wheel hub grinder on an impact screwdriver. It is best if they go around the car once as soon as they have removed the wheels. Time required: less than one minute for all four wheel hubs. If you want to use the grinder with a cordless screwdriver or drill, you can purchase a corresponding adapter separately.
The tool set is suitable for wheel hubs up to a diameter of 150 millimetres. It is made of robust aluminium and not of plastic like other devices. This makes it very stable since the aluminium does tend to crack like plastic. A starter kit is available that consists of the basic equipment and a grinding attachment. Additionally, the grinding discs are also available separately.
