ReluxGo Suspension Strut Spreader Tool — Universal Hub Spreader for Audi, BMW, VW; AISI 1045 Steel, Compact

ReluxGo's Universal Suspension Strut Split Hub Spreader Tool is a compact, heat-treated AISI 1045 steel clamp engineered to separate wheel hubs so you can remove and refit suspension struts safely and efficiently.

If you work on European and Asian cars—compact models, SUVs or light trucks—this hub spreader simplifies the task of opening stubborn suspension breakaway hubs without resorting to hammers or improvised pry bars. Built for hand-tool use only, the device pairs with a 10 mm hex driver and is designed to withstand workshop conditions thanks to hardened steel and corrosion-resistant finish.

How does the ReluxGo tool make strut removal easier?

The spreader applies controlled force to the hub assembly so the strut can be freed without damaging brake lines or wheel bearings. Its compact clamp design reaches tight spaces and keeps pressure aligned to prevent slippage.

• Applies steady separation force to break hub bonds cleanly
• Compact profile fits into cramped wheel wells
• Reduces need for beating or risking component damage

Which cars and parts is this compatible with?

This universal tool works across many models from Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Peugeot and Citroën, as well as similar compact cars, SUVs and light trucks. It targets suspension strut/hub interfaces where a hub clamp spreader is appropriate.

• Designed for common European makes and comparable vehicles
• Suitable for strut-to-hub separations on compact to mid-size vehicles
• Not intended for heavy commercial or oversized industrial hubs

What are the tool’s material, torque and maintenance limits?

Manufactured from medium-carbon AISI 1045 steel and heat-treated for strength, the spreader resists wear and corrosion for reliable shop use. It is specified for manual operation with 10 mm hand tools only and a recommended maximum torque of 13 Nm to protect the threads and mating parts.

• AISI 1045 medium carbon steel, heat-treated for durability
• Use only with 10 mm hand sockets or hex drivers; max 13 Nm
• Keep threads clean and lightly lubricated during use for longevity

How should I use and care for this spreader safely?

Always follow vehicle manufacturer guidance and support the vehicle securely before applying the tool. Clean and lightly oil threads, use only hand tools within the torque limit, and inspect the clamp for wear before each job.

• Secure vehicle and wheel hub before clamping
• Lubricate threads lightly; avoid excessive torque
• Inspect for deformation or fatigue before use
