Clatoon Inner CV Axle Puller Tool with 5/8"-18 Slide Hammer — 7 lb Hammer, 63mm & 48mm Forks

The Clatoon Inner CV Axle Puller Tool is a heavy-duty slide-hammer kit designed to remove stubborn inner CV axles quickly and without damaging housings.

If you work on driveshafts, front-wheel assemblies, or larger vehicles, the right puller makes the difference between a quick job and an afternoon of struggles. The Clatoon kit pairs a 7 lb slide hammer with two fork adapters (63 mm and 48 mm), a long T-bar, matching nuts, and gloves. Built from heat-treated 45# steel with corrosion-resistant plating, it’s engineered to apply straight, controlled force so an inner CV axle separates from the gearbox or hub without harming aluminum cases or splines.

How does the slide hammer remove inner CV axles without damaging components?

The slide hammer uses controlled impact force transmitted via the fork adapter and threaded fasteners to break the press-fit between the axle and housing. Because force is applied along the axle axis and concentrated at the joint, the tool avoids prying or levering against delicate housings. Proper use reduces the risk of scoring gearboxes, splines, or seals.

• 5/8"-18 threaded shaft accepts common adapters
• Fork adapters (63 mm and 48 mm) engage CV joint flange securely
• 7 lb hammer provides heavier, repeatable pull strokes
• Long 23" T-bar offers leverage and safe handling distance

Which vehicles and axle sizes will this puller fit?

The Clatoon puller is made to work with many domestic and import models, but compatibility depends on inner CV joint flange dimensions. The included 63 mm and 48 mm forks cover a broad range of common flange sizes; trucks and large vehicles may need verification before purchase. Always compare adapter dimensions to your axle’s inner joint before use.

• Two fork sizes address common inner CV joint diameters
• 5/8"-18 thread matches many aftermarket adapters
• Suitable for most cars and light trucks; check large-vehicle fit first
• Adapters and nuts included to reduce need for additional parts

What safety and setup steps should I follow when using this tool?

Assembly must be secure and aligned so impact force goes straight down the axle axis. If the fork feels slightly loose after initial assembly, tighten the screws evenly and use a wrench for final torque. Keep the hammer from swinging toward your body and clear bystanders to avoid accidental injury from inertia and rebound.

• Hand-tighten then fully secure screws at both fork ends
• Use wrenches to firm up the assembly if initial fit is loose
• Stand clear of the hammer’s path and avoid aiming it at your body
• Wear the provided gloves and suitable eye protection

What are the material and durability features of this puller kit?

Every major component is made from heat-treated 45# steel and finished with black or chrome plating for corrosion and wear resistance. The slide hammer’s heavier 7 lb weight yields stronger pulls and improved thread longevity. These choices make the kit appropriate for repeated garage use while preserving thread and adapter life.

• 45# steel construction for high strength and toughness
• Heat treatment increases fatigue resistance under repeated impacts
• Black or chrome plating reduces surface rust and wear
• Replacement-ready 5/8"-18 thread for aftermarket accessory compatibility
