Description
Cam Follower Lever / Position Alignment for COATS Tire Changers – Replaces 8181696 / 181696
The cam follower linkage arm is a key mechanical component in the foot pedal assembly of COATS rim clamp tire changers. It enables the clamping foot pedal to toggle between its inward and outward functions, controlling the jaw clamp mechanism on the tabletop pedal. Over time this lever can wear, crack, or deform under repeated cycling, causing erratic pedal response or loss of clamping control. Replace it when pedal action feels sticky, fails to hold position, or the toggle function becomes unreliable. Inspect the surrounding linkage, cam mounting block, and pedal pivot points at the same time.
