Installation Instructions

Why is this 6” kit better than our competitor?

Forged Gear Boxes

  • Strongest boxes on the market because forging produces a tougher piece of metal
  • Forging is stronger than both cast and billet aluminum
  • Competitors use cast aluminum and billet aluminum boxes
  • These portal boxes are extremely robust and give you more worry-free miles than any other portal

Gear Box Venting

  • Customers asked for box venting and we give you the option
  • Our box design offers a plug for venting with an optional easy to install kit that will be available soon
  • Vent kits allow an advantage of cooling which reduces early deterioration of the gaskets and seals

Gasket Material and Design

  • High density Kevlar fiber gaskets plus no additional sealant is needed
  • Gasket material is creep resistant plus oil and coolant resistant

Seals

  • Two oil seals on the spindle shaft for 100% more sealing area
  • Dual seals prevent water intrusion and oil leaks
  • True triple seal on the input shaft which includes a wiper seal that provides a significant extra layer of protection

Backing Plate

  • These are the strongest backing plates on the market
  • 5/16” steel plate with Bent flanges for strength and durability
  • Welded gusset brackets and designed to factory off-set
  • Works with all control arms that are built to factory hub specifications

13” Rotor

  • Precision ground stainless steel rotors (this is a big deal for brake performance)
  • Access holes for ease of assembly and disassembly
  • Slotted rotor allows for heat dissipation and cooling

Gear Profile

  • Alloy steel heat treating process increases overall internal and external strength
  • CNC precision ground machining ensures excellent fitment and increased strength
  • Controlled gear lapping for ease of installation and a quieter performance

            Love the interior brush too
            Color: Black
            This works perfectly as described, and I like that they offer additional needles if one ever breaks or bends. The internal brush is really nice to clean off residue grounds. Extremely easy to clean as well.

            Good starter WDT
            Color: Black, Color: Black
            I very much think this is a good starter distribution tool! The needles are a bit flimsy so sometimes when you are distributing the coffee grounds, it tends to flick the coffee grounds around out of my Porter filters. That’s the only reason I deducted one star, but other than that I enjoy the fact that it has that sponge on the inside, so it cleans off the tool after each use, which is a nice feature. It’s pretty lightweight and good in size and easy to use. For the price and starting off my espresso at home journey I think this is good to start with. The photo I posted is of the inner bristles pushed up so you see what’s on the inside and what is actually cleaning off the tool every time you insert it back into the case and this is after I’ve used it for over a month ☺️

            Amazing WDT Tool!
            Color: Black
            This WDT tool instantly improved the evenness of my puck prep, and the difference in my shots was obvious. The ultra‑fine needles fluff the grounds perfectly without creating channels. It has a nice weight to it and feels like a real upgrade compared to cheaper plastic options.

            Has upped our coffee game :)
            Color: Sliver, Color: Sliver
            EDIT: Well, 2 months later, this is still performing okay, however some of the needles have gotten slightly bent, causing it to seem loose and wobbly as they rotate within their opening. . Not a great aspect of this design. If you loosen the head straighten any bent needles, it does help a little bit. So far so good. It’s made a little difference in our coffee. We buy espresso beans and so we really pay attention to the way the espresso acts from cup to cup. We notice that after using this tool our coffee is a little sweeter, probably because the way the grounds are so evenly distributed and the little channels that the wires create. Easy to use, store, and keep clean. And it’s cute on the counter!

            Big Improvement in Espresso Consistency
            Color: Black
            This WDT tool made a noticeable difference in the quality of my espresso shots. The needles are thin enough to break up clumps and create a very even coffee bed, and the distribution feels smooth and controlled. Build quality is solid, the handle feels comfortable, and it’s easy to clean. I’ve gotten more consistent extractions and better flavor since using it. For anyone looking to upgrade their espresso workflow, this is a simple but very effective tool. Definitely worth it.
