East Coast Gear Supply heavy duty steel Toyota 8 inch front clamshell differential needle bearing removal extractor tool

The East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) Toyota 8" Front Clamshell Needle Bearing Removal Tool is the ultimate time-saving specialty tool for lifted truck owners. This custom-engineered extractor allows you to cleanly pull the failure-prone factory driver-side CV axle needle bearing out of the carrier housing without having to remove, drop, or disassemble the front differential assembly.
Attempting to pull the stock needle bearing using universal blind-hole pullers or basic slide hammer attachments usually results in the fragile roller needles exploding into the differential casing. This specialty tool slides squarely past the factory bearing shell, flips flat behind the bearing casing, and pulls it out in one complete piece.
Premium Engineering Features:
  • On-Vehicle Extraction: Saves hours of labor by allowing you to extract the stock needle bearing directly through the driver-side axle bore on the vehicle.
  • Flipping Plate Design: Engineered with a specialized pivoting puller block that slips vertically through the center of the bearing and expands behind the outer cage for a 360-degree grip.
  • Standard Slide Hammer Threads: Features a pre-tapped center thread designed to screw directly onto standard 5/8"-18 thread slide hammers.
  • Protects Carrier Internals: Pulls entirely from the back face of the bearing housing, preventing damage to the internal differential carrier bore and oil pathways.
