Orion Motor Tech CV Axle Removal Kit with Slide Hammer — 50mm & 64mm Forks, 22.9in

Orion Motor Tech's 4-piece CV axle removal kit is a heavy-duty slide-hammer system with 50mm and 64mm forks designed to safely and efficiently pull stubborn CV shafts from many domestic and import vehicles.

When a CV axle binds in the hub or transmission, the right pulling tools make the job faster and prevent damage to surrounding components. This kit combines a 22.9-inch slide hammer, an extension rod, two fork sizes, M16 nuts, and gloves so you can apply controlled, repeatable force to extract axles without improvising with unsafe methods. Constructed from heat-treated 1045 steel with protective finishes, the set balances strength and corrosion resistance for repeated garage or professional use.

How does the slide hammer help remove a stuck CV axle?

The 22.9 in. slide hammer stores kinetic energy when you strike the weighted sleeve and transfers that force down the threaded connection to the CV joint fork. Smooth threading makes attachment faster and reduces wobble, letting you deliver direct pulling impacts while minimizing twisting of the shaft or hub. The included M16 hardware ensures compatibility with common axle thread sizes.

• 4.7 lb. hammer weight for strong, controlled impacts
• M16*2.0 threaded adapters for secure connections
• Balanced design reduces side load on the hub

Which axle sizes and vehicles will the forks fit?

Two fork sizes—50 mm and 64 mm—cover a wide range of CV joint diameters found on passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. That makes the set suitable for many Ford, Lincoln, and similar-model axles where those fork widths are common. Use the smaller fork when space is tight and the larger fork when more surface area is required for a reliable grip.

• 50 mm fork for compact-lipped CV joints and tight spaces
• 64 mm fork for larger joint flanges and SUV axles
• Works with domestic models such as Ford Taurus and Lincoln Navigator

What materials and finishes protect the tool for long-term use?

All structural parts are manufactured from heat-treated 1045 steel to give the components high strength and fatigue resistance under repeated impact loads. Corrosion resistance is improved by blackening and chrome-plating on exposed surfaces so the tool withstands workshop environments without rapid wear. Those finishes also make threads easier to clean and maintain.

• 1045 heat-treated steel for durability under impact
• Blackened and chrome-plated finishes to resist rust
• Precision-threaded connections for repeatable assembly

How does the extension rod improve access during removal?

The 22.9-inch extension rod adds reach so you can couple the slide hammer to axles recessed deep within hubs or transaxles. Extra length reduces the need to disassemble suspension parts simply to gain clearance, letting you apply direct pulling force from a safer, more ergonomic position. The rod threads securely into the slide-hammer assembly for stable strikes.

• Adds reach for confined or recessed axles
• Threads firmly to prevent separation during use
• Helps avoid extra teardown of suspension components

Who is this for: This Orion Motor Tech set is aimed at DIY mechanics, backyard restorers, and professional technicians who want a robust, reusable solution for extracting CV axles without risking hub or transmission damage. If you regularly service front-wheel-drive or AWD systems, or you encounter frozen axles on older vehicles, this kit provides the appropriate fork sizes, power, and reach to complete removals safely and efficiently.
