Driveshaft removal tool wanted - South east

[Young Pretender]

Is any kind person, located in the south east, willing to lend/hire me a tool to pull the driveshaft out of a ford english axle? I'm in Maidstone.

Alternatively can anyone recommend me a cheap tool that will do the job? Some of the tools you can buy look rather expensive.

Thanks

From your other posts I thought you'd got both the shafts out?

All you need is a hammer. Once you've undone the 4 bolts that hold the halfshaft to the axle tube, refit the wheel and then using the hammer (and a block of wood to protect the wheel) tap the inside of the wheel rim until the half shaft is free from the axle.

I still have one shaft stuck..

I don't think a hammer is going to do it in this case. I have been trying a similar approach for several days now. Also tried coming back through the bolt holes with a philips and hitting it from the other side. I don't think it's going to budge.

So if anyone has any suggestions for a useful tool I would be grateful.

borrow a slide hammer

Thanks, looks ideal. Screw fix do this little number for £20. Only 2.4kgs but might just be worth a crack.

i would try to borrow a proper slide hammer

Make one

4 wheel stud holes drilled into a piece of 1/4 plate

Long piece of screwed 12 mm rod in centre, nut on each end and something heavy to slide along it like a heavier piece of plate with hole in centre (i use old lathe chuck)

Rough and ready but it works
