![]() Five socket receiving apertures 25 are formed in the front plate 24 to permit the front portions of sockets 30 to protrude beyond the front plate 24 (see FIG. 3) integral with the sockets 30 opposite the lug engaging end 36. Five locator apertures 32 are formed in the back plate 26 each of which receives a locator pin 34 (FIG. Five separate sockets 30 are provided, spaced to engage the five lug nuts (not shown) securing the wheel. Normally, front plate 24 and side wall 28 will be made integrally as a unit with the back wall 26 being attached by small screws (not shown). Removal tool 20 comprises a generally pentagonal housing 22 having a front wall or plate 24, a back plate 26, and a side wall 28. ![]() The tools comprises multiple individual socket assemblies for simultaneously engaging each lug nut that attaches a wheel to a vehicle, each socket including a nut-engaging socket and a satellite gear attached to each of said individual nut-engaging sockets for rotationally driving said individual nut-engaging socket in both rotational directions a universal drive gear engaging each of said satellite gears for simultaneously rotating all of said individual socket assemblies in either of said rotational directions a housing including an inner plate, an outer plate and a peripheral wall extending between said inner plate and said outer plate, said housing encasing said satellite gears and said universal gear a drive surface attached to said universal drive gear whereby a pneumatic wrench may engage said drive surface and simultaneously remove and replace all lug nuts securing the wheel.Ī first embodiment of the multiple lug nut removal tool of the present invention is shown in FIGS. The present invention provides such a removal tool enabling all five lug nuts to be simultaneously removed.
