FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this adaptor set?

The primary purpose is to safely and effectively remove seized drive shafts from wheel hubs using an air impact hammer, preventing damage to the hub or shaft.

Do I need an air hammer to use this set?

Yes, an air impact hammer is required to operate this set. The set includes an adaptor shaft to connect the hammer to the drive shaft adaptor.

What are the thread sizes included in the set?

The set includes M20 x 1.25, M20 x 1.5, M22 x 1, M22 x 1.5, M24 x 1.5, M24 x 2, and M27 x 1.5 adaptors.

What material are the adaptors made from?

The adaptors are manufactured from Chrome Molybdenum (SCM440) steel, known for its strength and durability, especially under impact.

How should I store the set?

The set comes in a dedicated EVA foam tray designed for organization and protection. It is recommended to store all pieces in this tray when not in use.

Is this tool suitable for all types of drive shafts?

This tool is suitable for drive shafts with accessible threaded ends that match the provided adaptor sizes. It is specifically designed for seized shafts.

What if I need to reinstall the drive shaft?

For drive shaft re-installation, Laser Tools recommends using Part No. 4847 (Drive Shaft Spline Lubricator & Puller).

Troubleshooting

Adaptor does not fit drive shaft.

Verify you are using the correct thread size adaptor. Check vehicle service information for the precise thread specification. If the correct size is not present, this tool may not be compatible with your specific application.

Air hammer is not providing sufficient impact.

Ensure your air compressor is providing adequate pressure and volume. Check the air hammer's internal mechanism for debris or wear. Ensure the air hammer adaptor is securely connected to both the drive shaft adaptor and the air hammer itself.

Drive shaft still will not budge after using the tool.

The drive shaft may be excessively seized. Ensure you are using the correct adaptor and that it is fully seated. Apply penetrating oil to the splines and allow it to soak before re-attempting removal. Consider using a more powerful air hammer or seeking professional assistance.

Thread on adaptor or drive shaft appears damaged after use.

Stop immediately. The adaptor may not have been fully seated, or excessive force may have been applied. Inspect both the adaptor and the drive shaft threads for damage. Clean threads thoroughly before attempting re-installation or further removal attempts.
