Tire hammer linkage spring


Recommended Posts

I am currently preparing to build a tire hammer of my own design and wondered do I have to have two separate pieces on each side of my spring? or can I just run a solid rod through the spring and have some pivoting blocks on each side of my arms. If so is one better that the other? How does one go about attaching the separate rods to each end of the spring?

That's what I did. I have 2 die springs held end to end with a through rod held in place with clamping blocks on the outer ends of the rod
