CV Joint Removal Tool |
Avoid stripping your bolt heads and spending wasted hours cutting and grinding them off by using this special tool to easily remove those pesky CV joint bolts. This tool is for use with 12-point star-shaped bolts only. Please make sure to check your bolts before ordering. It's common for previous owners to replace the 12-point star shaped bolts with more standard allen head bolts instead. Although the 12-point pattern allows you to get a better grip on the bolts (with the correct tool), and apply the high torque that the bolts require, previous owners may have stripped out these bolt heads by attempting to use a torx or hex driver instead of the proper tool. A word of caution here - these other tools MAY work, but if they strip the bolt head, then you are in for an entire afternoon of grinding it off the next time it's replaced.
TIP: Spray the bolts down with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench first to loosen the dirt and debris in the bolt head, then scrape out any dirt that may be left. With the socket on a 6" extension, slip the tool into the bolt head and give it a gentle rap on the end with a mallet to seat it firmly. Following this simple procedure will hopefully avoid you from stripping any CV bolts. |

| Precision Camber Alignment Tool |
The SmartCamber tool digitally measures camber and caster quickly, easily, and repeatedly. With the push of a button it automatically compensates for non-level floors so it can be used at home, at the track...even on a trailer with complete confidence. Plus, the module is removable and can be used for measuring any angles including drive shaft, wing and suspension angles, so it is really two tools in one. Accurately measures in 1/10th of a degree increments. Most effectively used with the optional Hands-Free adapter (as shown in second photo) because it allows the tool to be attached to the wheel while suspension adjustments are made - fast, accurate and super easy. Beats the heck out of using an $18,000 alignment rack!
Optional Wooden Carrying Case: Hand made lacquered birch plywood box with specially designed anchor screws to hold the tool in place. Very high quality and made in up-state New York by skilled craftsmen. |
