COVER STORY

removing/replacing sensors are also
commonly used within heavy duty
repair shops.
" These are the types of tools to keep
in stock because many times a technician needs them immediately when they
encounter that type of service work and
don't have time to special order the tool
and wait a few days until it's delivered, "
he says.
Oftentimes, as seen in many diesel
and Class 8 vehicles, the bolts where the
turbocharger and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mount on an exhaust
manifold break. This occurs for several reasons, such as corrosion or when
the exhaust manifold is removed when
a technician needs to repair a blown
gasket. However, they mainly break
because they go from extreme hot to

cold temperatures several times. This
heat cycling causes the bolts to lose their
elasticity, says Chris Novak, marketing
manager at ProMAXX Tool.
When these bolts break off, Novak
added, they often get stuck in one of
three places: in the turbocharger itself,
where the turbocharger mounts to the
manifold, or where the EGR mounts to
the exhaust manifold. If the bolts get
stuck in the exhaust manifold, fleets
end up tossing the entire component,
no matter the condition it was in.
With ProMAXX's NINO HD ProKit,
fleets can mount the repair kit directly
on Mack MP8 and Volvo D13 exhaust
manifolds and turbochargers to remove
broken bolts. The repair kit not only
saves the exhaust manifold and turbocharger from having to be replaced, but

need and then close the deal.

also cuts repair time down significantly.
" When bolts break [on Class 8
vehicles], they are often heat-hardened
due to the excessive engine heat, " Novak
says. " The tooling that normally works
for light duty trucks won't even touch
the heavy duty ones because they are so
hard. The kits that we made for Class
8 trucks have all carbide tooling to get
through the extremely hard bolts. "
When it comes to loosening hydraulic fittings found on tractors, forklifts,
and heavy equipment, technicians look
for a wrench capable of fitting in small
spaces. For scenarios like this, crowfoot
wrenches are ideal: they fit onto a
