Ken-Tool has released Pilot Sleeve wheel centering sleeves, manufactured to be used with steel or aluminum commercial truck steer wheels, drive wheels and inside/outside dual wheels that use two-piece flange nuts.

The sleeves are used to correct off-center wheel stud alignment on wheel mounting holes, which if uncorrected, can lead to out-of-tolerance radial wheel runout. The self-sizing sleeves take up the gap between the 22mm wheel studs and the 26mm wheel mount holes regardless of wheel condition.

The Ken-Tool Pilot Sleeve inserts into the wheel mounting holes using a Pilot Sleeve installation tool. Pilot Sleeve centering inserts are available in a six-piece package and in bulk pails which includes the installation tool.

The two smaller and lighter of the nine ramps will come without it. The gas-spring devices are lighter weight, leading primarily to the ramps’ 25-lb. weight savings over the previous design, according to Link.
