Product Description

The Bushwheel Install Tool is a precision-engineered solution for installing Alaskan Bushwheel tires onto ABI wheel assemblies.

Compatible with both 1.25″ and 1.50″ axle sizes, the tool features CNC-machined, reusable 6061 aluminum hat bushings, a ½″‑13 TPI all‑thread rod, fender washers, and nuts—everything needed for a smooth, gap-free install. Designed and manufactured in Alaska, this tool helps draw wheel halves together evenly using included hardware, while three alignment bolts maintain perfect positioning during compression.

Proper use with a water-and-dish-soap lubricant significantly reduces the risk of tire pinch, a critical concern for tubeless Bushwheel applications. Though the tool does not guarantee damage-free installation, it empowers mechanics with a reliable, field-ready method to mount Bushwheel tires to ABI wheels with precision and care.
