Axle hub and rotor assembly removal tool
View Patent ↗An axle hub and rotor assembly removal tool designed for efficient brake rotor removal from drive axles. The tool is constructed with a main body comprising a rectangular metal plate and transverse plates. The tool also features a threaded rod with continuous threads and a hex nut. A pair of nut and bolt assemblies are used for fastening onto wheel studs of the brake rotor. When placed on the axle hub, the tool's nuts are secured to the studs and are turned clockwise to create a small gap between the axle and the brake rotor. The threaded rod facilitates the brake rotor separation by providing leverage against the axle shaft.
1. An axle hub and rotor assembly removal and transporting tool comprising:
a brake rotor removal and transporting device having a main body including a main metal plate and a pair of transverse plates;
wherein said pair of transverse plates having a top transverse plate extending transversely from a top lateral edge of said main metal plate and a bottom transverse plate extending transversely from a bottom lateral edge of said main metal plate;
wherein said main body forming a channel for installation of said brake rotor removal device over an axle hub and rotor assembly;
wherein said main metal plate having a threaded rod passing through a central hole disposed on said main metal plate including a hex nut coupled with said threaded rod for guiding said threaded rod;
wherein said threaded rod having continuous threads from a head to a bottom end of said threaded rod;
wherein said main metal plate having a first assembly comprising a first nut and a first bolt passing through a first off-centered hole disposed on said main metal plate, and a second assembly comprising a second nut and a second bolt passing through a second off-centered hole disposed on said main metal plate;
wherein said first nut threadable onto a first wheel stud and said second nut threadable onto a second wheel stud of a brake rotor for enabling a user to loosen the brake rotor;
wherein the main metal plate is a rectangular top plate;
wherein the top transverse plate extends along an entire length of the top lateral edge of said main metal plate, and the bottom transverse plate extends along an entire length of the bottom lateral edge of said main metal plate parallel to the top transverse plate; and
wherein a width of the top transverse plate is less than a length of the first bolt.
2. The axle hub and rotor assembly removal and transporting tool of claim 1 , wherein said first off-centered hole and said second off-centered hole are equidistant from opposing edges of said main metal plate.
3. The axle hub and rotor assembly removal and transporting tool of claim 2 , wherein said first off-centered hole and said second off-centered hole are equidistant from said central hole.
4. The axle hub and rotor assembly removal and transporting tool of claim 1 , wherein said main body is a one-piece structure.
