Automotive U-Joint Puller, Universal Joint Extractor for Class 1 – 2 Trucks, Cars, & Equipment, U-Joint Removal Press Tool for Light Duty Vehicles, 10105

Purchased to remove the axle shaft u joints in a Jeep Wrangler (2004). Anyone who has replaced u joints knows what an incredible PITA this job can be. This puller made short work of the job. Watch the video, a couple of times, before trying it. It's not quite as intuitive as one might think, but once you've done it once or twice, it's a snap. The threaded shaft came pre greased and it popped two u joints out with no trouble. A word of caution though; insure that the retaining clips on the u joint caps have been removed; especially if they are the interior style C clips. I neglected to remove one and this puller forced the u joint cross through the cap, popping the top off of it (the cap). Sprayed needle bearings everywhere.

Been working in cars> 50 years; which that I had had this years ago; game changer. So smooth and easy to use. Excellent product!!!

I had some really crusty u-joints... this worked to make the removal easy

Good quality product, works as it should!

I had to WELD on this tool so I DROPPED a star to 4 ! It says will pull 1.0 to 1.25. Well I had a 1.062 cup in a 1.25 yoke and thought this tool be a perfect fit. WRONG ! Its 1.0 in the back curve and 1.25+ at the opening of the Half-Circle puller. Sooooo the tool just slipped off the Yoke. Good thing its made of strong metal as I HAD TO WELD A BEAD along the outer edge of the "half-circle" to close the gap. Then grind it smooth to make a smaller Half Circle "Grabber". NOW it works great. I checked & this seems to be the smallest on Amazon anyway. Semi-Fail but still worthy of 4 stars. If you use this tool your a McGiver anyway, so why not MODIFY & FIX everything !!

Excellent tool. I have replace universal joints in many vehicles over many years with all manner of tools, this tool made the recent task on a 2001 Ford F-350 much easier. I already own a c press for re installing the new universal joints, that coupled with this tool takes no time at all. I would recommend this tool to others.

It was enjoyable to merely set the u-joint tool (under the ear and onto the cross) and twist the driver. Only a light tapping on the ear was necessary to un-bungle the corroded u-joint caps (and only when twisting became too difficult), and the movement was regained. The large-ish price is overcome by: ease to use with a simply good fit and quality build. This well built, durable tool should come with a trophy case! I will definitely keep it well oiled for my next (road-solvent-corroded) u-joint replacement. More mobile than a bench vice and easier than the C-clamp method(s), and the new caps were easily pressed in with my bearing kit.

As a professional automotive technician I'm kicking myself for not buying a this tool sooner. At this price this tool will pay for itself in time saved, on a couple jobs. In the past I've fought with adapters on ball joint press, or the hammer and vise method. Recently I had a u-joint fail on my personal 2001 f350. I heard about this brand from several guys in the HD world that swear by tiger tool. I decided to order this to try out on my own truck. My u-joints were a bit rusty. With this tool I was able to press out both bearing caps with my 3/8 ratchet in about 5 minutes. I even did one cap one handed, and made a video with my other hand to show my father who has been in the industry for years. He was amazed by how this tool worked as well.Tool worked so well I told all my friends in the industry about it. I wouldn't even consider doing u-joints another way now. Tool is so cheap I'm thinking about buying a second tool to keep in my truck for long road trips. Please excuse the Shakey video as I used this tool and filmed at the same time. Will post up a better video next u-joint I change.

I was really hyped to receive my UJoint tool but when I opened the package the tool casting was slighty bent. I think its a QA error but now I have to go myself in town to ship that tool back. Since the tool seems problematic, I dont want it to blow during a critical job and let be honest, it's not the cheapest tool. I expect a straight well QA tool at that price. The one I used from another mechanic seemed fine and a quality tool. I hope to find a straight one from the same brand.

It does not fit a 07 2500 dodge truck axle ujoint Be good for suv/ mini trucks

Didn't work on my 2011 or 2006 Tacoma u-joints. Super disappointing as it is very expensive. Unded up hammering out the joints anyway, so waste of money for me.

Tiger tools are always quality and work as intended. Obviously there is always some odd ball cars this won't work on, but its a fantastic tool and will last!

I bought this tool because like most people i wanted to solve an issue with hard to get out and rusted u joints. I decided to buy this tool as i wanted a quality product and did not want to cheap out . The tool looks good and is made from quality parts. Unfortunately it did not work for my application. It kept slipping off the knuckle ears and bent the ears on another joint. If you watch the video I am sure they didn't use hard to get out u joints and that is what I bought it for. The cup ends broke also making it a mess and even harder to remove. Now i am stuck with a u joint remove tool that doesn't do what its suppose too . It might do well in some r applications however my application is somewhat common 1350 Spicer u joints on a classic car. I am thinking there are better tools out there for this application . Its a nice tool if it works for your type of application . Other wise a waste of 150 dollars
