 ABSTRACT

Vehicle is an important machine in human daily life. Nowadays,

each family has at least one car to make the transportation easy and faster.

For a car, the tool set-up for each vehicle is a T-nut wrench and car jacker

which is hard to use for a women or teen to open their car’s nut. This

project aim is to design and fabrication of four wheel nut removing tool

for tightening and removing of four nuts in one stroke. With the increment

of number of car on the road, the number of cars problem due to tyre

failure has increased.

Often, the car is provided with tyre wheel nuts remover and jack for

instance spare tyre replacement. Nevertheless, due to difficulty in

applying torque to remove nut and to save a time. We develop tool having

a gear planetary mechanism. In our project we are tried to focus on the

minimization of human effort for fixing all for nuts of 140mm PCD wheel

with 4stud and 8 stud nuts in one time.

The main objective of work is to develop a single tool, which can be made

use during assembling and disassembling of wheels in automobiles. Also

it can be used garages, workshops and service station. The remover is

designed to be ergonomic to be used, easy maintenance, easy storage,

easy to handled and able to remove all nuts at once.
