Abstract
A stub axle removal tool is attached to a stub axle or wheel using a flange and bolts. The flange is attached to a threaded rod that is braced against the vehicle's body to prevent unintended movement of the rod during the procedure. By rotating the threaded rod relative to the brace, the rod, flange, and attached stub axle move axially to remove the stub axle from the vehicle's differential.
