Make your own tool for close to nothing in cost! How to remove a CV Axle / CV Joint that is fused, stuck, bound, frozen into the transmission.
CV Axle Removal Tool, CV Joint Removal Tool
WENT TO ACE HARDWARE AND SPENT ABOUT $33 TO MAKE THIS OUT OF ALL THREAD AND A FEW PLUMBING FITTINGS. I ALREADY HAD A GOOD PAIR OF VICE GRIPS BUT THEY WERE THERE FOR SALE FOR $15
TWO HITS AND IT WAS OUT!!! AFTER BENDING 2 CROWBARS AND DESTROYING TWO FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVERS THAT I USED AS WEDGES. ALSO PUT A SMALL CRACK IN THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING WHICH I COATED WITH JB WELD THE ORIGINAL FORMULA. HEART ITS STRONGER THAN THE QUICK DRY.
100 THUMBS UP TO THIS GUY AND HIS HELP SOLVING THIS PROBLEM!!!
Did presenter really start by saying " I want to show my little tool " --- Very funny. Excellent video. Thanks
I designed my own using a 10lbs weight and scrap metal based off your video... Got it 2nd pull!! Thank you sir! I wasted hours prying away for nothing. This really works people!! 👍👍👍
I am glad to see I am not the only one that had trouble! I have been wrenching for 30 years!!
My name is Brenda Standifer this is my mother-in-law's computer. Just had to say thanks for posting this. Second day trying for my husband and I. Even my dad and one of his buddies tried with no luck. Built this and had to drill a hole in axel joint to get enough of a grip with my vice then It came right off!!
also I used a bearing hub from a Saturn Vue that I recently pulled out for the slide hammer.
Just wanted to say thank you. We have been hammering and pulling at that damn thing for 2 weekends. Rented a slide hammer from Advance Auto Parts and 3 racks back and it popped right off. You are a lifesaver!!!
Worked Great! Thank You! Lowes has Vice Grips with 7/16" SAE threading , HomeDepot has Metric, both stores only have SAE All Thread, so go to lowes for the Vice Grips and 3 ft of All Thread. An 18" piece of pipe from plumbing worked. Took me only two slides of the pipe to remove the stuck CV with your tool. Prior I had spent over an hour failing the removal with various pry bars. Your video is awesome! Thanks again!
Man after having this problem and trying different methods for a month I couldn't take it out. I watched the video and was very skeptical since nothing ever work from RUclips so I just decided to give it a chance. I spend about $30 on getting the bise grips and the rest of the things. The first 2 tries it slipped. At the last attempt it came out. I couldn't believe it! Thank you for your help!!
I used your idea on my Mercedes and it took one wack and it was out, you saved me a lot of cash! Thanks.
Man, I can't thank you enough. Being trying to get the cv axle off of my 2011 Hyundai Sonata for a whole week. I was just about to put everything back together and take it to the dealer. Then I found your youtube channel via Google. Within 10 minutes (after I got back from Home Depot) I had that S.O.B off!!!! I bought a pair of Milwaukee vise grips, 3ft of 7/16 threaded rod, 3 washers (i used various sizes), 3 - 7/16 nuts, and (2ft piece of 3/8 galvanized pipe with a floor mount attachment) to use as my slide hammer. Using the tape was genius... Thanks again Marco.
Awesome bro glad to hear you found success. Nothing like a little youtube and diy engineering to get the job done!
Thanks so much for the snap ring lesson. I accidentally over-extended my right CV axle on my FWD 3000GT, pulling the TJ out of the housing and tearing the boot requiring me to rebuild the inner boot and joint. But getting the CV spline to separate from the trans was a multi-hour ordeal. Once I understood the need for sudden or "shock" force instead of gradual force, the solution was at hand. I grabbed my pickle fork (because my large screwdriver was bending too much), wedged it between the tranny and a lip on the housing, gave it a few good smacks with my palm before I saw it move, and it finally broke free with a couple more smacks. Much obliged, Marco.
Mike Gleghorn I'm glad the video helped you out. People tell me I talk in too much detail but I always say it's for the best!
I built this for under $5 and pulled my stuck CV axle in 4 whacks. GREAT vid and idea!
I was able to remove the "tulip" from the transmission using a cable and a trailer hitch ball assembly. The cable was a spare from my garage door lift spring safety cable kit. It was small enough to fit behind the "tulip". I removed the rubber boot from the inner end of the shaft leaving just the inner "tulip". The cable has a loop at each end so I inserted one end through the loop and placed it behind the "tulip". I wrapped the middle of the cable around the heavy trailer hitch assembly and in two tries the "tulip" popped out!! Thanks for the inspiration.
This totally works. I worked for days to remove an axle using a crowbar. After watching this video, I went to a hardware store, built a similar tool, and with one try the axle joint popped out. Wow! Thanks for sharing!
I concur with the first hit comments. This worked, plus I had an excuse to buy another set of vice-grips. I wracked my brains for a couple hours before I saw this video. I used a bunch of large 1/2 drive sockets stuffed into each other for weights to slide along the threaded rod. Tape is a must! Great video post! Thanks!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, it worked on the third pull. A big thank you for posting, this is the second one I have done
on my truck the first was 9 hours to get off this one 15 minutes and $45. Well worth the money. Now I have the tool.
Ted Fudjinski Awesome I'm glad to hear it worked.
I made a homemade slide hammer with vise grips and some threaded rod. It worked like a charm. CV axle popped out on the first hit. Thanks for the tip!
***** I am glad this video provided you with some inspiration. I knew someone out there would be able to enjoy the thrill of making this and it actually working. I still have my homemade slide hammer with the cup attached as a trophy in my shop LOL. Its cheap enough that I would probably make another one if I ever needed it.
Huge thanks!!!! Spent hours trying everything and then seen this video. I was able to use a dent puller and the thread was perfect for my vice grips. Literally 4 whacks and it came out.
Worked like a charm got the list below from Lowes for 6.00 used my own vise grips parts list: 69888 3/8 x 16 3 ft all thread 2.90 12109 1/2x 5 nipple 2.32 63303 3/8 nits (2) .12 EA 68884 3/8 fender washer (3) total cost 6.00. Put the pipe nipple then 3 fender washer then locked the 2 nuts of the end used this to adjust the vise grip from the end with a rachet. clamped on then pulled with 2 tries works great
Just made your tool for a stuck cv joint on a VW Beetle. I had to add a little weld to the edge and once I did it worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.
This isn't a new set up. Sorry, to be the Debbie downer but I made one of those in 1998. It works awsome for many different things. Glad you figured out how to fix your cv axle problem.
literally just put this together and used it now. Came over to the garage computer and had to type a Big THANKS to ya!
Jason Mills awesome! glad it worked!
Was just trying to change a CV axle on a Honda Fit, and was having this same issue. Let me tell ya, they don't make these things to come out easy, that's for sure. Anyone whose ever put a regular socket onto an impact gun knows exactly what I'm talking about (we've all done it, don't kid yourself!). These obnoxious little rings are quite the marvel of engineering. It's quite amazing how such a tiny little piece of metal can cause so much of a headache... but they do work. Too well, in fact.
Anyway, after looking at the physics of it, it makes sense. Only a solid in-line knock without canted leveraging will get this to work because of the equal pressure applied throughout the ring simultaneously. The only other way to get it off is to destroy the transmission housing because they make the rings out of a stronger steel than the housing metal. This video is a WONDERFUL tip. Thanks for sharing.
Mechanics FTW.
I owe you a drink buddy!, welded some round stock to a vise grip and an old sprocket, used an old hitch as the hammer. 10 minutes of welding 2 hits popped right out. Cheers!
I will also attest to this. Changing axles on my 2009 acura mdx. everything on front passenger took about 30 mins...up until I had to seperate the axle from the intermediary axle. spent 7 hours with pry bars, extensions, screw drivers, mallets, converting to religion, sacrifices, etc. Friend built me one of these from scrap parts he had. 10 minutes later it was done. Thank you!!
B Fehrman so glad it helped
I tried getting my drivers side CV axle out of my car that I had tapped
in with a maul. I tried for many hours with crobars and stanley super
wonder bar (the CV tool that attaches to the slide hammer wouldn't fit
all the way around it). THIS WORKED WITH NO EFFORT AT ALL! I was
skeptical it would come out with this invention because of how hard I
tried with other methods, but I pulled it once with about 20% of my
might and it came out the first try! It even pulled out the whole inner
axle from the other side, it was stuck so hard. At that point I held
the axle with one hand and kept hitting the stuck CV end away from the
axle and after hitting it and rotating it slowly in circles (about 10
or 20 revolutions) it finally disconnected from the shaft! Make sure
that your replacement part looks EXACTLY like the old one. My new
replacement that got stuck was just a solid -looking cylinder instead of
one with indents all around. It was .002" too large for the gears.
I used the Milwaukee brand because the other wasn't available at Home Depot but it was still a 7/16"x14 thread and then I had to go to Menards for the nuts because our Home Depot doesn't carry 7/16" anything except the threaded rod.
So glad it worked for you! GJ
I used it and it works!! I don't have pipe i just used some sockets and tape them together. make sure you pull straight and straight off
Thank you sooo much bro! I built it with everything from true value and put it on the cv hub and got it on the FIRST try! Thank you a million bro! Your a genius!
ginder77 awesome man! So glad it helped!
Awesome fix for this problem. I used a cheap o mini sledge as my weight, worked like a champ. Thanks for the ideas
Nice idea Marco. Threaded rod is made from steel - but sometimes zinc-plated to resist corrosion. Rod is NOT "zinc". Far too soft for making a rod.
That shit work with cheap ass Walmart vice grips. I was on the second day trying to pry my axle off. It was to the point where my neighbors wanted to give it a shot. This dude look like Shaq O Neil couldn't get it to budge. But that shit took bout 10 minutes to build. And 1, 2,3. clop. Three seconds man our you kidding me. Thanks a lot.
Lol had me rolling with the baby shaq trying to get it off. I'm glad it worked for you.
Success here too! Bought a new set of Vise Grips (a regular pair and a tiny needle-nose pair) for $17, a 3-foot length of 7/16-14 all-thread and a couple of nuts and fender washers, a 12" piece of 3/8" galvanized pipe and a floor-mount cap for it. No extra weights needed. One hit was all it took!
Excellent advice! My friend and I have used this technique with great success on not one but three stuck inner CV joints. Many thanks.
No problem man. I am glad that it helped!
This is shear genius we got a tool from auto zone and fought with it for 4 hours trying to make it work
We made your tool and got them out in 30 seconds you are a genius
thanks a bunch, just had this prob w my 2000 Tiburon. went to home depot got supplies for $25. 3 strikes n it was out. worked like a charm.
Dude, had the same problem b/c I put a shitty Chinese axle into my Tacoma. Two hours fighting, prying, hammering.. I watched your video, looked through my garage, about 45 minutes later: Presto! One shot! Thanks Man!!
I had to remove a CV axle. Saw your vid. Made my own and work on first pull after trying a pri bar
For 30 min with no luck. Thanks for the help.
If you can drill a hole in cv bucket use a bolt or d shackle through link in chain then through hole drilled wrap chain around strong handle and jerk hard it may take a few tries but it works
After watching this I welded my new Mennards visegrips adjuster screw to my slide hammer and in 15 blows it popped out . I did weld blobs on the stuck shaft(for grip) so vise grips would not and did not slip, excellent. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the knowledge, one for the memory bank. I had same problem a few years ago on a 99 Kia believe it or not. It was impossible to pry out. Another mechanic trashed the tranny prying it out. 5 star video here Marco.
I just took some threaded pipe, one inside another, and screwed flanges on both ends. Viola, slide weight. Anyway, works like a dream, just be ready for that transmission fluid. Thanks a ton, Marco!
After working my arms to death trying to pry a stuck CV axle out of our 2000 Dodge Neon I built a chain type of "slide hammer." It did NOT work. Before I went back out to try more I got on You Tube and found your video. THANK YOU! Three slams and it was out! What a relief! I did make a little modification. I put a piece of 1/2" PVC pipe over the all-thread rod so the threads of the pipe and the threads of the rod wouldn't rub against one another. Anyway, everything worked GREAT! I actually used an old rusty vice grip I had in the garage. LOL
DavidBruce Allen Awesome Man!
I just yanked mine out in a similar way. Thanks for the ideas. I basically used chain link the right size to put on the vise grip screw, clamped on the cv joint and taped to secure.......then using my come-along cable system. A few good yanks and bamm!
I am trying this tomorrow evening. Good idea.
been trying for a day and a half with no luck. saw this video and made one at ace hardware for $55. worked like a charm on sevond pull! thank you for the advice. much appreciated. returning all material for refund 😁
James Black awesome glad it helped although I'd probably keep that tool. Prices keep going up and you might need it again. Plus if you run into someone else with the problem you can charge them 50 bucks for the guaranteed pull! Lol
Thank you soo much was working on this cv joint for hours your awesome dude
Today I used pliers as a wedge between the CV axle casing and the axel shaft on the passenger side, used a 5 gallon bucket to balance the weight of a 2x4 about 6 feet long, one side of the 2x4 was pressed up against the pliers handle holding them in place and I smacked the other side of the 2x4 with a 30lbs dumbell and knocked that CV axel right out. He is very right! Pulling force will not pull it out, I ratchett strapped one side to CV joint and the other side to a near by street light post cemented into concrete and that thing did not budge! These ratchett straps have bent solid steel in past adventures. But I read a form saying shock force knocks them out with about 10-15lbs of weight. I instantly thought of the contraption I mentioned and wacked it with double the weight and it popped out first try. Good luck to you and whatever you come up with. Desperation is the mother of creation. Good luck
Im gonna bet this method is going to work for my 2006 mini cooper. Ive spent hours trying different methods to get the cv axle out. Nothing has worked. I can't wait to give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes when i'm done.
Fingers crossed! Let me know!
great video helped me fix my first car next video I'd recommend filming with the camera sideways
haha I know it. I actually filmed this on my tablet and I didn't know what I was doing.
Hey this is John B you don't need to make that all you got to do is jack your car up with a good jack crowbar stick in between transmission push toward the transmission from the stuck CV axle and it comes apart
Hi you can use hammer part from regular slide hammer and heavy duty hose clamp instead of tape. Good idea on using vise grip.
I sure hope this works! My husband has been trying for a week now to get cv joint removed from transmission. Will let you know if he has success after using your idea. Wish us luck!
It worked! Thank you for the great idea! But instead of using duct tape my husband used a hose cramp and it worked great!
Good Luck!
Awesome!
That`s using your noggin. Nice idea. I think the problem with pry bars is that it applies sideways force which wont allow the clip to release on the opposite side. With your approach the force is straight back which allows the clip to release smoothly.
About to try this for my Honda Civic 2018 si passenger side. I spent all day with a pry bar trying and no luck, hopefully this works tomorrow morning as I gotta leave back to college tomorrow night.
I’ve been stuck on the cv joint for the last day 😂 just saw this video so to Home Depot I go. Wish me luck
Goodluck!
Had a severely stuck CV axle on my wife's 2005 Toyota 4Runner. Used a pry tool and a large crowbar from Harbor Freight with no good. Then I went to AutoZone to rent a slide hammer with the adapter. It was useless. So I went to Home Depot. They only have the Husky and Milwaukee brands for the curve vice grips. I choose the more expensive Milwaukee with a 7/16" screw at the end. Then I bought a 16 inches 7/16" threaded rod (zinc finish was the cheapest), 3 washers and a 4-pack 7/16 nut (used only 2). I removed the weight hammer of the Autozone rented slide hammer and used it on my device. The Milwaukee vice grip was so useless and keep on sliding out. Went back to Harbor Freight and bought the "Bremen" brand vice grip $5+ with 20% discount. This vice grip was amazing. Third pull was magic. This invention is amazing. Marco, you are a genius.
We recently did this with a jaguar. The only improvement was using a hose clamp instead of tape to secure the viceGrip in the closed position.
3 whacks and it was out. Good idea.
Man what an ordeal. Nothing worse than Smacking that pry bar with the old short-handle sledge, rightly expecting a nice clean pop & release, & getting absolutely zilch for your effort. Whack the pry-bar several more times right there in the sweet spot, next to the fulcrum point, still nothing - & then you know your in for some FUN. Stupid c-clips. UGGGGHHHHH...
I built one very similar to yours from threaded bar stock & a harbor freight cheapy dent puller slide hammer. welded thethreaded stock to the end of the slide hammer, but instead of vice grips, I welded the cut off open end of a combo wrench to the other end of the threaded bar stock, right on the tip & at a 90 degree angle to the bar stock, just right for slipping between the bearing cage & the differential face where the splined part of the axle goes in. 2-3 good smacks & out they pop. But sometimes it likes to slip off the cage, though, & I gotta hose-clamp it to the side, which is where your vicegrips approach reigns supreme! gonna build one like that, next. ;)
Unusually, I find that a 57mm spanner fits on both sides of the cup, which pulls the drive out evenly. The usual way is with a sliding hammer, which takes longer than the spanner method. It all depends if you can access the cup easily. I have also used (with some sucess) a 50mm crows foot on two long 1/2" extension bars. If you have to use a lot of force your doing it wrong.
And I merely put a fairly lightweight chain around the same part and put a 5/16 x 1.25 inch bolt to wrap around it next to the tranny and about 3 more feet. Take the loose end and connect to the frame of your jack. Place your feet and arms so that the chain is taught and then move your jack in toward the engine about 1 to 1.5 feet and then swing the jack out away from the car, letting the weight of the jack jerk the CV joint right out of the tranny. Works every time.
Hey don't be embarrassed about the jury rig. Whatever works!! Thx for the advice.
Damn It actually works, when I first watched this I didn't believe it would work but it actually did, thx and u should start selling this tool 👍🏻
+Jeremiah Hull Yeah, me too. But I didn't have much for options. Wow, so easy!
Thx a bunch it worked on my 2005 Mazda 6.
This looks genius!
You made a slide hammer. They sell these on Amazon or any auto store. Slide hammer.
I did with a vice grip on the end 10 years ago this wasnt a common tool that every knew about
Master slide hamer kit has all the adapters you need to use any pair of vise grips you want
I had a volkswagon jetta about a month ago that had a stuck cv joint the exact same sticking situation. I used the exact same thing with the exception of the slide hammer. I used a double headed axe head. I slid it twice and it popped right out. I will give you a little hint about using pry bars in the back side. when you pry on the hub it tends to try to come out cocksided thus binding even more with the tension spring. if you are lucky you might get it but most likely won't. Don't waste time trying to get in that tight place it;s not worth it. pull it from the front.
I think they make a crowsfoot tool that threads onto a standard slide hammer that's made specifically for cv axles.
I'm not trying to act like a "no it all" or anything, I've been looking for a way to get my cv shaft out for a month or so. I never even thought of using a slide hammer until I saw this video. If the crows foot don't work then I'm definitely using this method! Thanks for sharing, this will save me the $900 that the volvo dealership wants to charge!!
Found the crows foot AFTER I saw this and started looking at slide hammers
Joe Pamplin The crowsfoot that came with the slide hammer I original rented from Autozone would not actually fit between the cv axle and the transmission. There was literally only enough space for a 1.5 inch tool to squeeze in there. Although the crows foot may have worked on a different vehicle it didn't work on the KIA I was working on. LOL Thanks for commenting!
Fingers crossed that it will work on the volvo. Lol
If not, I have a welder and lots of scrap laying around. Lol.
freaken genious man thank you for sharing lets see some future uploads of more ideas
Hmmm. We tied my car down and tried to jerk the cv joint out and that didn't work either. My step brother has your same settup with the vice grips and that didn't seem to work either. Looks like we need to do some sort of version of this though.
Carter Eberline I did the same thing and it took this tool to knock it out. Comment back and let me know how it works!
This video saved my life thank you so much for sharing your wisdom 10 out of 10 would recommend
After a pry bar didn't work for me, I hammered a pickle fork between there and it worked perfectly, so I didn't have to resort to your tool. Great idea though.
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly and saved me time and frustration.
No problem glad it helped
I owe you one Marco works like a champ 1 slide and it was out Thanks Again
that rod is the made of zinc. it's steel coated in zinc for a little corrosion resistance.
The rod is made out of Steel coated with a thin layer of zinc. It's a steel rod
Thank you for this idea. I couldn't get the left axle out of the differential on my daughter's '97 Camry. Prying was futile. I made a puller using vice grips, 3' of 7/16" all-thread, a.k.a., threaded rod, a couple of washers, a couple of nuts, and the 5 lb slider from my stud weld puller. Popped it out after three or four hard whacks.
Did you grind the end of your all-thread to look like the bolt from the vice grips? At first I didn't, and I realized that it wasn't locking. I ground down the first quarter inch of the rod to a diameter of about 1/4", just like the original bolt. Worked like a charm.
To make the job even more frustrating, the right spindle nut was frozen completely. Used a breaker bar and extension with my full 180 lbs on it. Nothin'. Put a jack under the breaker bar handle, and jacked it up until the breaker bar looked like a long bow. Nothin'. Used a punch and 5 lb mallet to try to pound the nut CCW. Did that for hours. Heat. PB Blaster. More pounding. Finally I had to cut through it with a 3" cutoff wheel. That took a couple of hours, too.
A job that should and could take three or four hours wound up taking about 12. >:(
myownspiritlevel I thought of doing that myself but it worked fine with out it and I thought that the extra thread might help the situation from becoming catastrophic if the force from the hammer broke the threads on the zinc rod I was using.. Turns out all is well. Thanks for commenting!
Marco Vazquez THANK YOU!! I used your idea to attach vice grips to my slide hammer. It worked the first time after over an hour with various pry bars.
This looks awesome, but I have a perfectly good nearly brand new CV axle that is stuck in my transmission. I need to take the CV axle out to clean and paint and install the transmission.
I would recommend carefully removing the boot by unsnapping the metal retaining band. That should be the only thing holding the boot to the inner cup. Then you can remove the inner cup using the method and tool in the video. Afterward you can put the boot back onto the inner cup and replace the metal band. You might have to replace some of the grease and maybe even the band depending on how cleanly you can remove it and put it back on.
Perfect I actually hadn't considered removing the metal band. Thank you!
Take a 6 ft 1/8 wire with two wire clamps. Wrap one end around the cv joint a couple of times and clamp it. Make a loop on the other end that fits into an ax handle. Put the ax through it and swing away. The boot will probably survive. It is the most incredibly simple and cheap way this job is possible
Great idea but the rod is called allthread damit
Thank you for this video
oh and make sure you use a "curved jaw" vice grip and not "flat jaw" they make both, the flat jaw doesn't grip the bearing cup as well. thanks again Marco.
Exactly! My first try was with a flat one and it did not work nice call!
Clear genius, thanks Mike.
I spent several hours using the vice grips and also notched the CV and made zero progress.. I got a 12" x 1/8" dirll bit and drilled a hole through both sides of the CV. Widened out the holes to accept a 1/4-20 screw. put an eye bolt on the end of my slide hammer and ran the bolt through it. Came off in 4 hits. For me the vice grips were just not working.
That is the next level of stuckness. I'm glad you got it out!
It works I made one
You can knock it out from the other side if you can get one of them out reach through with a rod of some kind and drive it out with a hammer.. They do it at the dealership.
Works like a champ. Thank you sir!!
Allthread!! Its all Thread :)
I've got a 97 sephia and I have been trying and trying To get the drivers side out. It's been a nightmare. I just hope i haven't missed anything else up. But alright home made slide hammer. Gling to make one right now.
Thx fluffy looks like your tool works i'm going to give it a try tomorrow.
i usually just stick a pry bar on the plunger case and whack it out with a big heavy hammer..comes right off
Doesn't always work trust me I tried. That is why I made this in the first place. One day you will run across that one rogue cv axle and remember this video and be like oh okay now I know what he was talking about. lol
Bolt a chain around the cv housing and bolt the chain to the rented slide hammer. No need for a rod and vise grip and much cheaper.
Taking it off without destroying the boot is the real trick . But sometimes you have to get creative and make sacrifices
Check out my comment above. Just went through all of this
Boots already torn why I’m replacing it.
My Volvo has been to 4 shops, all of them telling me they couldnt do it and suggesting a transmission shop. I told my local indie to please try this approach. Waiting for a call back. If this can't get it I'm truly screwed.
Let me know Id be interested in finding out the results
For us we took a 3 foot steal bar welded a old steal sledge hammer head to it and then welded it to the cup and pulled it
Did u try the fork / slide hammer CV . tool??
I did, but the cup was recessed into the transmission in such a way that it would just slide out with every hit of the slide hammer. I took it back because it didn't work.
@@Ocramman86 I think the trick is to snap them, if you pull hard the clip doesn't want to compress.
Watch this vid if you want more CV axle nightmares

Thanks for the tips ,good video
3/8" threaded rod
Well , I owe you a beer or two. beautiful ! 7/16 x 14 threaded rod into a vice grip , that thing came right out !!! thanks !!!
Looks good but can't find 7/16" threaded rod. Haven't tried Lowe's yet. When wife gets home, I'll borrow her car again....
What about attaching a chain and give it a big whip.
Thank u sir
Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing !
