Abstract: A hand held forked separator(s) or a forked wedge separator(s) used with or without a hand held hammer or hitting device (including air hammer). A U shape is on one side of the tool and on the other side of the U is a handle. There are different lengths of the tool available. Such as the 9?, 12?, 15?, 18? etc. These are used in combination with any hand held hammer or hitting device or as a prybar or with a shim (same tool but without a tapered fork). They are made to be used for the removal of c/v halfshafts from front wheel drive and rear wheel drive with front wheel drive set up transaxle automobiles. This tool is driven straight in between the inner c/v joint housing and the transaxle. Then sideways to finish knocking it out or just sideways if the gap between the transaxle and the inner c/v joint housing allows the the tool to slide in, the straight way, without any necessary hammering. The shim version of the tool is also used in these cases. (same tool but without a tapered fork).
