How to use the Axle Guide on Your Pinewood Derby Car

Pinewood Car Axle Guide
Instructions


1. Rotate the gap gauge until it is perpendicular to the body of the tool.  Tighten the screw.  The gap gauge can permanently remain in this position unless you wish to store the tool in the zip lock bag.

2. Turn the car over and place the tool on the bottom of the car with the ridge in the axle slot and the gap gauge snug against the car body.  If your car has shallow axle slots, turn the tool over so the flat side is against the bottom of the car.

3. Mount the wheel on the axle and insert the axle partially into the slot holding the tool firmly against the bottom of the car. NOTE: the above picture shows the axle without the wheel for illustration..

4. Place the wheel head on a hard surface. Firmly hold the tool to the block and apply downward pressure on the axle. Continue until the axle will go no further.

5. Use your thumb or the handle of a small screwdriver to push the axle in until the wheel is snug against the gap gauge.
6. Carefully remove the tool and repeat for the other axles.
