Product Information

This tool kit is used for easily popping inner CV joint out of the differential where the CV joint is secured internally via a circlip

If you have ever struggled with removing inner CV joints from a differential you know the struggle. This basic tool kit easily and safely removes the inner cv joint just like a pickle fork removes a ball joint from a control arm. This is a must have tool kit if you are doing an axle replacement where the axle is not bolted to the drive flange on the differential.

  • Separates half-shafts from transaxle
  • Shim tool is included to fill gaps on some applications
  • Better and safer than hammer and bar
  • Both are 14" / 36cm long with 2" / 51mm opening
  • Machine forged for strength and durability
  • Attempting to simply pull the axle out may result in a torn CV boot

Please note: This is a universal tool and may not work for all applications. Before ordering inspect the clearance/installation method of your existing axles to ensure this tool will work for you. In certain applications there are more specific specialized tools which will work better.

Dimensions
It won't work on the passenger side of a 2009 328xi; 2'' opening isn't wide enough for the support bearing that's almost 3".

Love 'em!
I saw a few lower star reviews and would like to address some of them. The thinner profile popper, while it is good for 90% of axle setups, specifically on BMW, it is a bit too thick to get between the CV axle and the differential assembly, I used an angle grinder to 'sharpen' the end a bit, and now it fits perfectly, I didn't have to remove much material, so I don't expect any loss of strength. These are for axles that use "circlips" to retain the axle, if your axle is held on by a carrier bearing (most Volvo passenger front axles) you won't benefit from this tool, although your driver side axle will benefit. While a pry bar, chisel, hammer, general pulling, will likely get your axle out the same, it is a more time consuming, and apprentice leaves marks on the axle and transmission, these poppers make the process a lot easier, quicker, and cleaner

Pop, Drop & Un-Lock It
Made drive axle replacement really on my Volvo rather easy using the included tapered-headed tool. Not sure what the other one ideally used for but definitely will save some time over a pry bar or similar approach.

This tool did not work as I expected it to work, but it did successfully pop both of the front Axles from my Wife's X5

The thin one helps, the other one is too thick for the application. As long as you get pressure on opposite sides equally they WILL come out!

Works pretty well
I had to remove my driver's side cv axle recently to replace it. Mine was stuck pretty bad. This tool didn't get it out so I took it to my Volvo mechanic but even he couldn't get it out. I brought it back home and tried some more and I eventually freed it with my impact wrench and a 5/8" cold chisel in a 13 mm socket. Kind of crazy but that's what it took to get it out. I later had to remove the new axle to replace the transmission seal, then this popper tool work well to remove the new axle after a few tries.

Question Posted by Mel
How do the width of these compare to the BMW/Baum Tool with part number 315110?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This is more of a universal style product. Width wise there is a similarity but it's not neatly as thin as the BMW/Baum special tool which is going to be easier to get between the oil pan and inner CV joint to release the axle from the front differential. On occasion the front axles can be pretty stubborn to get to release and there is little room (especially on the driver side) to get good access.
