Guest cattmann Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) This part came with a jack I purchased for my 1941 Chrysler royal coupe.Any idea what its for.Keiser wins hands down in his description.In the pics you can now see how it anchors itself to the rim and if the tire was indeed flat I could have pushed the thin part of the wedge between the tire and rim .Rotating clockwise with your tire iron allows the thicker part of the wedge to seperate the tire from the rim.Thanks keiser for the call on this part .

keiser31 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Are there threads on the inside of the circular part? Does it screw to the valve stem? If so, it could be a tube stem holder or valve stem puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cattmann Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 No threads.If it is indeed associated with the jack ,I would guess at it being something to secure the jack in storage .The hole in question is the same size as the jack handle that the tire iron would maybe go into .The wedge part rotates to lock itself in place.I might go out to the garage and rmove the spare to see if it goes there.I am not sure where the jack was stored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cattmann Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I believe you are right on the money keiser.I just came in from the shop and I tried it on the original rims and it fit perfectly and I think it actually would break down the bead.
