hex head cap screw for tire changer repair and Coats machine maintenance

Hex Head Cap Screw for Coats Tire Changers

This hex head cap screw is a direct OEM replacement for Coats tire changer models like the RC150, RC-45, 50X, 70X, and APX. If you’re dealing with slippage, poor torque hold, or a missing bolt during routine maintenance, this part is the exact fit you need. It’s built to meet the high-load demands of tire-changing machines - no guesswork, no modifications, just a clean, proper fit that locks down under torque.

What Makes It Different?

Unlike generic fasteners, the 8181172 bolt includes a washer face under the head and a chamfered thread point. That means better alignment during installation and more stable load distribution once tightened. It won’t mushroom or shear like low-grade alternatives, which is critical when you’re running back-to-back cycles in a busy shop.

  • OEM spec fit - no trial-and-error swaps
  • Chamfered threads ease alignment and reduce cross-threading risk

How It Performs on the Job

Expect rock-solid performance even under daily commercial use. The bolt maintains tight engagement and resists vibration loosening, so you won’t be chasing re-tightens during a full tire service day. It's also rust-resistant and built from high-grade steel - just what you need in a shop where reliability is key.

  • Ideal for long-term performance without frequent replacements
  • Perfect fit for securing core mechanical assemblies

Who Is This For?

This screw is specifically made for tire techs, shop owners, and mechanics using Coats tire changers - especially those working on the RC and APX lines. Whether you’re performing routine maintenance or replacing a worn fastener, this bolt eliminates compatibility headaches.

Ideal For:

  • Shops using Coats RC150, RC-45, 50X, 70X, or APX models
  • Techs needing OEM-grade replacement hardware
  • Preventive maintenance and rebuilds
