9-Hole CV Joint Puller Tool – Universal Propshaft Separator

Universal CV Joint Puller & Propshaft Separator Tool – T409

Take the frustration out of drivetrain servicing with this heavy-duty 9-Hole CV Joint Puller Tool. Engineered for professional mechanics and serious DIYers alike, this universal separator makes removing constant velocity (CV) joints from drive shafts straightforward, controlled, and safe — all without risking damage to the joint, transmission, or surrounding components.

Why You'll Love This Tool

• Hands-Free Operation: The clever design frees both hands so you can easily release the retaining circlip while the tool holds the shaft securely in place.
• 9 Adjustable Holes: Full adjustment capability accommodates different joint assembly lengths, making it compatible with most vehicles equipped with constant velocity U-joints.
• Wide Diameter Range: Minimum clamping bar shaft diameter of 17mm (0.7 in); maximum CV joint diameter of approximately 95mm (3.7 in). Recommended minimum shaft diameter: 18mm–19mm for optimal grip (retaining ring required; not suitable for smooth shafts).
• Durable Construction: Body crafted from zinc-plated steel; bars finished in black oxide-coated steel for maximum strength, rust resistance, and long service life.
• Compact & Precise: Overall dimensions: 24.4 cm × 14.6 cm (9.61 in × 5.75 in) — easy to maneuver in tight engine bays.
• Protects Components: Eliminates the need for improvised hammering, reducing the risk of damaging the CV joint, transmission, or axle boot during removal.

How It Works

1. Slide the collar around the driveshaft, aligning it with the CV joint.
2. Select the appropriate hole setting from the 9 available positions to match your shaft length.
3. Engage the clamping bars on the shaft groove (ensure the shaft diameter is ≥ 17 mm and has a retaining groove).
4. Apply steady pressure — the tool separates the CV joint cleanly while keeping your hands free to manage the retaining circlip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this CV joint puller tool fit my vehicle?

A: This universal CV joint puller tool is designed to fit most vehicles equipped with constant velocity (CV) U-joints. It features 9 adjustable holes to accommodate different joint assembly lengths and shaft sizes from 17 mm (0.7 in) up to a maximum CV joint diameter of approximately 95 mm (3.7 in). We recommend measuring your shaft diameter before purchase — a minimum of 18–19 mm with a retaining groove is ideal for the best grip.

Q: Does this tool work on smooth shafts?

A: No — this CV joint puller requires a grooved shaft (where the rubber boot clamp sits) to engage securely. It is not suitable for smooth shafts. A retaining ring groove is necessary for the clamping bars to grip properly.

Q: What materials is the T409 CV joint separator made from?

A: The body of the tool is constructed from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance, while the bars are made from black oxide-coated steel, providing superior strength and durability for heavy-duty automotive use.

Q: Can a beginner DIYer use this tool safely?

A: Yes. The hands-free design simplifies the CV joint removal process significantly compared to manual methods. That said, always measure your shaft dimensions first and follow your vehicle's service manual for safe drivetrain procedures.
