I’m recently new to the 100. Spent a lot of time with the 80’s and wanted to try something newer. Picked up a 109k ‘06 LX and am currently doing some basic maintenance. One item it needed was the AHC to be adjusted for balance and pressure. I’ve read a lot of posts on the topic that covers everything one should know. However, I always found the center of wheel to fender measurement not precise enough when “eyeballing” it. So, I drafted up an idea I had in my head to ensure I get as precise as possible without any guess work.
This will work with the wheel in any position and also with a wheel lock and hub cap. It’s designed to allow the user to install and take measurement exactly from the center of the wheel. The center fits a tape measure and is offset to be on centerline. I designed it to be a 4-piece set that clips together without any fasteners. Each of the feet freely rotate to fit the lug nut and the tape measure center rotates for any orientation. There is some room for improvement, but it works really well. Great tool to have in the garage.
