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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the slide hammer remove inner CV axles without damaging components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8\"-18 threaded shaft accepts common adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFork adapters (63 mm and 48 mm) engage CV joint flange securely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7 lb hammer provides heavier, repeatable pull strokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong 23\" T-bar offers leverage and safe handling distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and axle sizes will this puller fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo fork sizes address common inner CV joint diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8\"-18 thread matches many aftermarket adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for most cars and light trucks; check large-vehicle fit first\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdapters and nuts included to reduce need for additional parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety and setup steps should I follow when using this tool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly 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.
