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.

Shops using Coats RC150, RC-45, 50X, 70X, or APX models
