SPECIAL TOOL J 6627-A IS NOT TO BE USED AS THE WHEEL STUD REMOVAL TOOL FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLES.

Notice: The fingers of J 6627-A extend too far down the back of the wheel hub and bearing assembly. When this tool is used as a wheel stud press, it may cause damage to the wheel hub inner seal. If the seal is damaged, water intrusion may occur and the life span of the wheel hub and bearing assembly may be decreased.

Important: If any seal is damaged, it is recommended that the wheel hub and bearing assembly be replaced.

USE OF EITHER SPECIAL TOOL J 35917 OR J 43631 IS RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO PROPERLY REMOVE THE WHEEL STUDS ON THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE.
