ReluxGo Inner CV Axle Puller Set — 5/8"-18 Slide Hammer, 48mm & 63mm Forks, Extension Pole for FWD Axles (Taurus/Sable 1986–2021)

The ReluxGo Inner CV Axle Puller Tool Set is a heavy-duty slide-hammer kit engineered to remove stubborn inner CV axles from front-wheel-drive vehicles, including Taurus and Sable FWD models from 1986–2021, without damaging the transmission housing.

When you need to extract a press-fit inner CV axle without wrecking the surrounding components, having the right adapter and enough reach matters. This kit combines a 5/8"-18 threaded slide hammer with two fork-size adapters and an extended pole so you can engage the axle shaft behind the inner boot and apply controlled, repeatable pulling force. Built from heat-treated steel and sized for common axle openings, the set saves time on the bench or in the driveway while minimizing risk to aluminum bell housings and transmission cases.

How does the slide hammer and adapter work together to remove inner CV axles?

Attach the supplied CV joint fork adapter to the slide hammer using the 5/8"-18 thread, position the fork around the shaft behind the boot, then use the hammer weight to deliver short, decisive impacts that pull the axle free. The extension pole gives extra reach in cramped engine bays.

• 5/8"-18 slide hammer accepts the included fork adapters and nut
• Fork adapters (48mm and 63mm) fit common inner joint widths
• Extension pole increases reach and leverage in tight spaces
• Impact strikes concentrate force at the axle, reducing transmission stress

Which vehicles and axle openings does this kit fit?

The set is designed for front-wheel-drive axles and lists compatibility with Taurus and Sable FWD models from 1986 through 2021; the included forks suit inner openings around 2" and 2.5". Verify clearance and outer widths in your vehicle before use to ensure proper fit.

• Suitable for 2" and 2.5" inner openings (outer widths: 3.78" and 4.93")
• Thicknesses: 0.2" for 2" option, 0.17" for 2.5" option
• Works with most common FWD axles when space allows tool installation
• Check for adequate room behind the boot and around the hub area

What materials and parts are included in the kit?

ReluxGo built the set from heat-treated, high-duty steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The kit supplies the hardware needed to get started and gloves for basic hand protection during removal operations.

• Heat-treated, wear-resistant steel slide hammer and forks
• One slide hammer with 5/8"-18 threading and matching nut
• One extension pole, 48mm fork, 63mm fork, and a protective glove
• Packaged to withstand shop use and repeated service cycles

How do I use the tool safely to avoid damage?

Position the adapter correctly behind the inner boot, confirm thread engagement, and apply controlled hammer strikes rather than continuous force. Inspect the transmission case and axle seating area for obstructions, and avoid using excessive force if the axle does not move—assess for retained circlips or rust.

• Fit the fork snugly around the shaft behind the boot before hammering
• Use short, firm slide-hammer impacts, not prolonged swinging
• Ensure adequate clearance for the extension pole and hammer travel
• If axle remains stuck, stop and check for clips, rust, or seized splines

Who this is for: The ReluxGo Inner CV Axle Puller Tool Set is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent repair shops, and fleet technicians who service front-wheel-drive vehicles and need a reliable way to remove inner CV axles without damaging aluminum transmission cases. If you frequently work on Taurus, Sable, or similar FWD models and encounter press-fit axles, this kit provides the adapters, reach, and hardened components to make extractions faster and safer. Confirm the axle opening dimensions and workspace clearance on your vehicle before purchasing to ensure proper fit and operation.
