I am happy to introduce our new product to you. Centerlock guide tool named The Wheeldo. Made out of Delrin. Comes with screw on cap to protect its threads in your toolbox as well as the toolbox from the silver paste infested threads. :-))

I think you will like the pricing:

USD 139 + shipping

USD 99 + shipping if bought together with NutCracker (applies retrospectively to anyone who ordered NutCracker before - send me your order # and I will reply with a discount code)

Shipping to the US costs USD 29 by FedEx. Delivered in one week from EU.

We will start accepting orders in approx 2 weeks. Professional photos must be taken and our store updated to allow bundle purchase.

I am glad you like them. The guide tool has been called a d*ldo in this forum quite a few times already. :-)

Oscar Wilde was right I guess.We all need the power to f*ck with CLs instead of CLs f*cking with us.

Can you confirm that it will work for GT4 RS center lock? I do not know if threads are the same between all models.

Great product

Any chance there is a revised carrying case that will fit the Wheeldo as well?

Quite a few people have voiced the same thing. We are looking into available case options, but this will take some time. While it's clear it makes sense to have it all in one case, Wheeldo is more than sturdy enough to survive on its own.

Previously I was intimidated by the CL wheels but no more. This tool makes it easy to remove and install my track wheels. I also got Gabe's Wheeldo. Great service and very fast shipping. Thanks Gabe. I highly recommend for CL owners.

Purchased the tool and used it today before tossing it into the frunk to carry on a road trip.

Works as expected. The gearset is a little notchy, but shouldn’t affect performance.

The difference this tool makes, and probably makes the sale for most over the big torque wrench/breaker-bar is the ability to do it by yourself.

Unless I'm missing something, you can't use a breaker-bar/450lb/ft torque wrench by yourself.

Fortunately I have a variety of helpers on hand.

It's also helpful that a good 1/2" torque wrench and the tool fits in road trip luggage as a just-in-case (because nobody believes AAA has the right wrench).

Is that worth $1000? Depends on you.

Sure you can, I used the Precision Instruments torque wrench for 4 years on the GTS and then on the GT3 by myself before I got the Renntorque set up which is similar to this.

Then enquiring minds need to know- How did you hold the brake that well and torque the wrench while the car is in the air?
