FAQs

What vehicles is this Sealey Driveshaft Extractor Tool compatible with?

The VS963 is suitable for most passenger cars and vans, including popular brands like Alfa Romeo, BMW, Citroen, Ford, Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota, and Volvo.

Does this tool come with a press or impact tool?

No, the Sealey VS963 is the extractor tool itself. You will need a separate press or impact tool to apply the necessary force for driveshaft removal.

How does the swivel levelling foot help?

The swivel levelling foot allows for precise adjustment of the tool's angle, ensuring it is accurately positioned against the hub for even and effective force distribution.

Can this tool be used to install driveshafts?

This tool is specifically designed for the *removal* (pressing out) of driveshafts. It is not intended for installation.

What is the main benefit of using this tool over traditional methods?

The main benefit is faster, more efficient, and damage-free removal of driveshafts by applying controlled and balanced force, protecting surrounding components.

How should I clean and store the tool?

Clean the tool with a dry cloth after each use to remove grease and debris, and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips during operation

Ensure the swivel levelling foot is securely positioned and the tool is square against the hub. Re-adjust for a more stable fit before applying pressure.

Difficulty pressing out driveshaft

Verify that the tool is correctly aligned and applying pressure evenly. Check for any obstructions or corrosion that might be binding the driveshaft. Ensure adequate force is being applied.

Tool appears to be bending or deforming

Cease operation immediately. This may indicate excessive force is being applied or the tool is not correctly seated. Inspect the tool for damage and consult the vehicle repair manual for specific removal procedures.
