Abstract An apparatus 32 for securing a wheel lock ring 31 to and removing the wheel lock ring 31 from a wheel rim comprises a first support 40, a second support 41, a first nut 44 including a first internal thread having a first orientation, the first nut 5 44 being secured relative to the first support 40 such that the first nut 44 is able to pivot relative to the first support 40, a second nut 45 including a second internal thread having a second orientation opposite to the first orientation, the second nut 45 being secured relative to the second support 41 such that the second nut 45 is able to pivot relative to the second support 41, and a threaded 10 shaft 50 including a first shaft thread 52 having the first orientation and a second shaft thread 53 having the second orientation. The first support 40 and the second support 41 are securable relative to the lock ring 31 such that the first support 40 and the second support 41 are located on opposite sides of an opening 33 in the lock ring 31. The first shaft thread 52 is engageable with the 15 first internal thread and the second shaft thread 53 is engageable with the second internal thread such that the diameter of the lock ring 31 is able to be decreased by rotating the shaft 50 in a first direction relative to the first nut 44 and the second nut 45, and such that the diameter of the lock ring 31 is able to be increased by rotating the shaft 50 in a second direction relative to the first nut 20 44 and the second nut 45. - I I , : i i.. xx ,,:,,. . . , ::,..y :;, 4 0 .
