Ez U-Joint Extractor

Story Behind the Invention

SACRAMENTO, CA Inventor Brian Rutherford announces his patent pending invention known as the U-Joint Extracting Tool.

Inventor Rutherford developed this clever innovation, which is a plate apparatus that aids in the removal of heavy-duty universal joints. The apparatus consists of a metal plate that is approximately 4 inches long and 2- inches wide. Two outer apertures in the metal plate attach to the corresponding retaining bolt holes on an existing universal joint. The inner hole has a driver shaft driven by a -inch hex fitting. This driver shaft aids in the removal of the joint caps of the universal joint. The apparatus is secure and will not slip or reposition itself while in use. When finished, the apparatus can be removed from the drive shaft. The use of the U-Joint Extracting Tool allows users to remove heavy-duty universal joints more easily and efficiently.
