Default Center Lock Tool Removal

This may be a dumb question but need help getting the center lock tool removed from Precision Instruments torque wrench.

After a few months of ownership was thrown into the world of the center locks when I had a slow leak. Removed and put the wheel back on with no problem but now I cannot get the tool to come off the torque wrench. I believe I may have put the tool on the torque wrench with the pin on the wrench in the wrong position.

A large flat head screw driver in-between the socket and the wrench head base will allow you to pop it off.

I keep a 16P nail in my storage case allowing me to depress the pins in the handle for easy separation. Good Luck.

jjrho, I helped a friend sell one of those the other day. I think the ratchet part of the wrench set just fits in it....not sure it's really even long enough to break the CL's loose though??
