FAQs
Can I use a metal hammer with this punch?
While the tool is hardened steel, it is highly recommended to use a soft-face mallet to prevent damage to the punch and the surrounding motorcycle components.
Will this work on rear axles?
This tool is designed specifically for front wheel axle configurations, though it may work on rear axles if the bolt design is similar in diameter and access.
How do I maintain the punch?
Wipe away any metal shavings or dirt after each use and keep the tool lightly oiled to prevent oxidation.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
The Bike It tool is covered under standard manufacturing warranty terms; please check with your specific retailer for exact duration.
What is the best way to store the tool?
Store in a dry, organized toolbox or tool roll to prevent moisture buildup and surface corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Punch slips off the bolt head during use
Ensure the punch is properly centered and consider using a heavier or softer-faced mallet to improve grip on the metal surface.
Bolt is not moving despite strong strikes
Apply a high-quality penetrating oil and allow it to sit for several minutes before attempting to tap the axle again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the punch, place the motorcycle on a stable front paddock stand to ensure the wheel is off the ground. After loosening the pinch bolts, position the punch head against the axle bolt and strike squarely with a soft-face mallet. Compatibility is intended for most standard motorcycle front axle designs; however, verify the head diameter of your specific axle bolt before use. To care for the tool, keep it clean and free of grit to ensure it does not slip during impact. Occasionally wipe the tool with a light machine oil to prevent surface rust, and store it in a dry environment.
