The lifting device is used to lift the holder with the component therein to a position where the component is substantially in axial alignment with the axle. Once in that position, assembly of the component on the axle can take place by moving the component axially on to the axle. The holder can then be lowered away from the assembled component.
130 Multi-lug socket tool US10082962 2002-02-26 US06668685B2 2003-12-30 Larry Boston
A device for simultaneously removing all of the lug nuts on a vehicle's wheel, thereby reducing the amount of time required to remove the wheel from the vehicle. The device has multiple sockets that fit over each lug nut. Each socket is turned by a lug gear and all of the lug gears are turned by a single central gear. The central gear has a hole or slot in its center for receiving a hand tool or power tool that provides the rotational force. The lug gears are positioned around the circumference of the central gear and the teeth of the lug gears engage with teeth of the central gear. An outer ring gear surrounds all of the lug gears providing an inward pressure that maintains the connection between the teeth of the lug gears and the central gear. When the central gear is rotated each of the lug gears rotate in an opposite direction thereby allowing each lug nut to be turned simultaneously. The device can be mounted on a dolly to aid in movement and the dolly may include a jack for raising and lowering the device to desired height.

An elevating linkage is provided for raising and lowering the frame relative to the wheels to lift and lower the brake drum relative to the vehicle.
132 Kneeling dolly with ramp brake US09268288 1999-03-15 US06179542B2 2001-01-30 Edward S. Haven
A kneeling dolly with ramp brake and method of use. Each kneeling dolly with ramp brake comprises a body having a ramp adjacent a wheel well, two front wheels swivellably and retractably attached to the body, and at least one rear wheel. Devices for extending and retracting the front wheels are provided. The instant kneeling dolly with ramp brake may be used singly, in pairs, or in whatever grouping(s) desired. In operation, a vehicle is rolled onto kneeling dollies with ramp brake, until one vehicle wheel is disposed on a respective kneeling dolly with ramp brake. Due to the swivellable attachment of the front and rear wheels, each kneeling dolly with ramp brake is free to travel in any desired direction, and thus the vehicle supported by the kneeling dollies with ramp brake may be pushed in any direction. This flexibility in movement helps relieve congestion and maximize floor space in garages, hangars, etc.

137 Heavy duty impact wrench caddy US308413 1994-09-19 US5553991A 1996-09-10 Armando Ferreira
A mobile impact wrench carriage is provided for holding a heavy duty impact wrench aloft for operation in a generally horizontal disposition. The impact wrench caddy of the invention has particular application to the removal and reinstallation of lug nuts holding a large vehicle wheel to a vehicle wheel mount. The impact wrench carriage employs a platform supported by at least three casters and a hoist mounted on the platform. The hoist preferably employs a boom having a first end coupled to the platform by way of an upright stanchion and an opposite, cantilevered end that is vertically movable relative to the platform. An impact wrench carrier is secured to the cantilevered end of the boom. The impact wrench carrier preferably is in the form of a cable forming a noose that captures and suspends the impact wrench. A biasing mechanism, such as a shock absorber, urges the cantilevered end of the boom upwardly. The biasing mechanism counterbalances the weight of the impact wrench to minimize the manual effort that is required to maneuver the impact wrench into proper position during its operation. The caster supports allow the platform, and thus the impact wrench, to be moved laterally in any direction.

140 Method and tool for removing and replacing a vehicle wheel US178796 1994-01-07 US5426841A 1995-06-27 Richard O. Peterson
A tool for removing and replacing wheels of heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks. The tool has a track with a first end member to be clamped to the vehicle axle. Chains on the intermediate part of the tool support the tool on the wheel of the vehicle. The chains can be released when the first end is clamped and the second end supported. Adjustable legs are supported on the second end of the track for supporting the second end of the track. A carriage with a wheel support on it is movable on the track. The wheel support is clamped firmly to the wheel support on the carriage. The axle nut may then be removed and the carriage can be moved toward the second end member and locked in position on the track with the wheel on it. The wheel can then be swung to an inclined position for servicing. When serviced, the carriage with the wheel can be moved toward the first end member of the track bringing the wheel back onto the axle.
