It has no effect on any part of the original axel. It all works exactly the same as it did before.
The reason for this is to pull the axel if its tight instead of having to try and hammer it out from the nut end when the wheel is removed. The nut stays in place
Some times if the grease dries out you need a drift the axel free
It's a wiggle bar, if that makes more sense
This is the ktm version I made. Nut is the other end
The lc hex is a different size to my old air cooled one, plus the lc axle doesn’t unscrew like the old one, it just pulls out when everything is loose, and this tool will give much better purchase on it for pulling...
