The Zackab 2020 is a specialized mechanical extraction tool designed to solve a notoriously difficult problem in automotive repair: removing the seized "pinch bolt" (often referred to by mechanics as the "evil bolt" or "Arschlochschraube") from multi-link suspension systems found in Audi, VW, Seat, and Porsche vehicles. The Engineering Challenge: The "Evil Bolt" In vehicles with a four-link front axle, the upper control arms are secured by a long pinch bolt. Over time, road salt and moisture cause electrolytic corrosion between the steel bolt and the aluminum wheel bearing housing. This creates a bond so strong that standard tools often snap the bolt head off, leaving the shank permanently stuck and requiring the expensive replacement of the entire axle leg. Features of the Zackab 2020 Founded in 2020 as a spin-off from a master mechanic business, Zackab developed this tool to provide a non-destructive extraction method. Targeted Application
