Lisle 18980 Pneumatic U-Joint Driver

The U-Joint Cap Removal Tool is designed to quickly and efficiently remove the u-joint cap from the drive shaft on most rear-wheel-drive vehicles. This specialized tool utilizes an air hammer driver, making it a versatile and effective solution for removing u-joint caps up to 1-5/16" in diameter.

On some vehicles, the u-joint is retained with plastic components installed by the manufacturer. In these cases, the plastic must be removed prior to driving out the u-joint caps. This is an important step to prevent any potential damage to the drive shaft and axle shaft ears that could occur if alternative methods, such as presses or chisels, were used.

The key advantage of the U-Joint Cap Removal Tool is its ability to quickly and safely extract the u-joint caps without causing harm to the surrounding components. This is particularly crucial when working on delicate or sensitive parts of the vehicle's drivetrain.

By using the air hammer driver, the tool applies the necessary force to dislodge the u-joint caps, making the removal process efficient and straightforward. This eliminates the need for more labor-intensive and potentially damaging methods, such as manual prying or hammering, which can lead to unwanted damage to the vehicle's critical components.

The versatility of the U-Joint Cap Removal Tool allows it to be used on a wide range of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, making it a valuable addition to any mechanic's or enthusiast's toolbox. Whether working on a passenger car, truck, or SUV, this tool can save time and prevent costly repairs down the line by ensuring the u-joint caps are removed safely and without incident.

In summary, the U-Joint Cap Removal Tool is an essential tool for anyone tasked with servicing or maintaining the drivetrain of rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Its air hammer driver design, coupled with its ability to handle a variety of u-joint cap sizes, makes it a valuable asset in the workshop. By preventing damage to critical components during the removal process, this tool helps to maintain the overall integrity and longevity of the vehicle's drivetrain.
