 ABSTRACT

Car owners inevitably have to change the tires on a vehicle at some point. The task

may sound simple, but years often pass between wheel changes. Large deposits of grime and

rust tend to build up thanks to such a delay, and it often makes for a turbulent time during a

wheel change. Before removing lug nuts, car owners should learn the basics of the part,

removal essentials, and acquire a few tools, such as a hammer, wrench, impact wrench, and

lubricant. Many drivers are not mechanically minded and know next to nothing about lug nuts

and the role they play. The term "lug nut" specifically refers to the wheel nut that secures a

wheel onto a vehicle. As such, lug nuts are extremely common and found on almost every

vehicle with rubber tires including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Removal Essentials are

obviously, lug nuts need to be tight to make sure that the vehicle is safe. This is essential for a

safe drive, but the inevitable removal of the lug nuts often proves problematic as a result.

there are several ways to remove a lug nut efficiently, though all involve a tool, or tools, of

some description.

This study aims to develop and evaluate an eight- stud multi -purpose lug wrench

spanner w/ spindle. Specific objectives: to design and fabricate an eight- stud multi -purpose

lug wrench spanner w/ spindle. to evaluate eight- stud multi -purpose lug wrench spanner w/

spindle in terms of its design, construction and efficiency.
