Drive Shaft Removal Tool M16 x 1.5 for Audi, Seat, Skoda & VW

Many VAG vehicles use a single-use sheet metal drive shaft nut with an M16 x 1.5 thread. Corrosion between the wheel hub and the drive shaft splines often makes removal difficult.

Attempting to drive out or press the shaft without protection can damage both the sheet metal nut and the threaded section of the drive shaft joint.

This removal adapter provides a safe solution for dismantling seized drive shafts while protecting critical components.

Protects the Drive Shaft Joint Thread

The adapter is securely screwed onto the drive shaft joint and acts as a protective extension of the original threaded section.

This allows force to be applied directly to the assembly without risking damage to the drive shaft joint or its thread.

Suitable for use with:

• Hydraulic presses
• Hydraulic cylinders
• Impact spindles
• Puller systems
• Workshop hammers
