  • Patent number: 5769395
    Abstract: A tool for moving a disconnected vechicle's component, such as its front suspension, out of the way to permit working on the vehicle's front wheel drive shaft. A straight handle has a S-shaped hook suspended along its length. This hook is mounted to the component to be moved. A pivotally mounted T-shaped front end handle piece fits under a sturdy stationary vehicle component. Adjustment holes in the vertical leg of the front end piece are engaged by a pin which extends through a hole in the handle's front end slot. A rubber pad prevents slipping between the stationary vehicle part and the tool's front end piece while spaced handle stops prevent movement between the suspended hook and the handle. The application of sufficient downward force to the handle's end opposite its T-shaped piece will move the desired disconnected hook suspended vehicle component.
