Rear Axle Shaft Puller
This tool is used to remove the tapered rear axle shaft, axle bearing cone and axle bearing cup as an assembly with a heavy duty steel drum and heavy duty nuts and washers to slowly pull the axle shaft from the axle housing.
This kit comes complete with the steel drum, 1", 7/8" and 3/4" axle nuts, 1", 7/8" and 3/4" grade 8 thick flat washers and grade 8 spacer bolts and nuts.
Once the rear wheel brake parts, brake backing plate and axle shaft bearing retainer have been removed, the drum is slipped over the axle shaft and seated against the axle housing flange. The thick, wide flat washer is installed along with the axle nut and with the use of the correct wrench, the nut is tightened. Usually the axle shaft, bearing cone and cup will pull out with just a few turns of the axle nut.
