The tooling is then aligned, the half-shaft is clamped, the bolt is loosened, the brake disc is rotated, the bolt is tightened, and the tooling is removed. Existing tightening devices require separate positioning of the brake disc to engage with the upper end face teeth of the half-shaft before tightening the bolt with a tightening gun. This method is costly, cumbersome, and labor-intensive for workers. Summary of the Invention
