Found a Snap on LA55A Stud Remover Today

[odelay01]

I found this huge thingamajig in a pile of Snap on stuff that I bought at the Pawn Shop today. I know it is a stud remover, but I have no idea of what kind of stud. It is 3/4" drive. Anybody ever used one before. Thanks.

I have used one like that a few times. Slide it over the stud/pin. drive the wedge in from the side to lock it in place and you are good to go. Right or wrong that has worked for me plenty of times.

I know what kind of studs it is for.

Big ones.

Ha Ha. Thanks for the quick response guys. I have no use for it, but it's kind of cool anyway. Whoever owned it previously must have worked in a heavy equipment or industrial type job as there were also several sets of 12 point impact sockets and they were all 3/4" drive. Again, no use for them but as we all know it is very difficult to pass up a good deal on tools, especially Snap on!

Used them on seized turbo studs on the exhaust manifold and turbo on diesel trucks.Worked great might work well on wheel studs.

That's a good idea about the wheel studs, I didn't think about that, thanks.
