• Removing drive axles is often frustrating and time consuming
• It is usually done by hammering on the axle flange with a sledge or air hammer
• This method is slow and often results in damaged studs, which must be replaced.
• In addition, flying pieces of the axle flange can cause serious injury
• The kiene k-1280 axle shaft remover is a better way: a specially heat treated alloy drive pin provides a large easy-to-hit target that extends well beyond the wheel
• The drive pin is spring loaded so that it maintains contact with the axle flange
• The removal process is faster since the mechanic can hit harder and with greater accuracy
• The k-1280 is a rugged, lightweight tool that installs in less than a minute. Accommodates rockwell and eaton axles
• Furnished with two (2) 5/8-18 stud adapters
• Additional stud adapters are available
