  • Impact tool for removing constant velocity joint
    Patent number: 5103544
    Abstract: An impact tool for removing a constant velocity joint from a splined drive shaft is disclosed. The tool is a cast metal member comprising a lower shank, a central shaft, and a cup-shaped head. In use, the shank is inserted into an air hammer, and the cup-shaped head is placed over the drive shaft and in contact with a trunnion located within the open end of the constant velocity joint. The air hammer, when operated, delivers a significant impact force, through the tool, to the trunnion and separates the constant velocity joint from the drive shaft.
