Pro Outer Hub Tool

[papaw]

Hi, new guy here. I've lurked and learned much the last couple of years and have been somewhat successful helping my grandsons with their cars. But....I have a problem with the new wheels and the outer hub tool. Mine doesn't seem to cut the step at all. What could be wrong? Operator or tool?

Thanks,
Wayne

Wayne,

I know that if you are using the outer hub tool to remove the step down, Derby Worx recommends that you sharpen it more to do so. This might be why you are experiencing problems.

Thanks, how do you sharpen it? I have some jewelers files, can I just run one across the flat face of the semi circle?

Two of the guys from Maximum Velocity responded and sent me to youtube....There is a video there describing how to hone/file the tool.
