Your cart is empty.Wrench fastens to most popular pinion flanges and companion flanges to hold when setting bearing preload and tightening retaining bolt or nut. Wrench has provisions to work with 1/2" or 3/4" drive tool. Center hole is 2" to clear most sockets. Universal slotted bolt patterns for 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" fasteners for most AMC, Dana, Ford and GM yokes.

like other stated, it is made from a cheap metal.while it will work on some, it is very difficult to accomplish the job when working on chrysler 8.25. It isonly slightly larger than flange so the holes are not exposed 100% which is must when inserting torque wrench and torque this to 210 ft lbs. We didn't accomplish the jobs because of that as hole rounded up. We ended up buying different brand that is stainless steel and actually bought 2 as others suggested and welded them together to use for multiple jobs.

I used it on a 2004 GMC pickup with a 8.625 rear differential to set the preload on the pinion brgs. It worked very well but I believe the torque setting is not that high. Somebody needs to use it on something like 2001 1ton HD where I believe the rear diff Torque seting for the pinion nut is 400 lbs to get a true test

Not the same as the one in the photo as advertised. Didn't even get to tighten all the way and it completely stripped the 1/2 socket insert. Should definitely last more jobs let alone half the crush sleeve. Save your money and buy something else.

I used this to re-do my Jeep's gears and it worked great. Fwiw I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon, which do not use a crush sleeve. I bought a 3/4" breaker bar from HF in order to use the larger square and barely any deformation after the job is done. Now it's in my trail bag.

I used this on a DANA 70 pinion flange in a 1994 Ford E-350. The 1-5/16" socket fit thru it, and I mounted it to the flange with 2 5/16" bolts with nuts and washers that I wrenched tight on opposite ears. Used a 3/4" breaker bar 2' long in the tool letting it stop against the concrete floor, and a 1/2" torque wrench set to 250 ft/lbs in the socket , achieved the 250 "click with no issues. Not the most rugged tool, but used with common sense and care, it's very useful and better than trying to handle a 3' pipe wrench while using a 2'-3' torque wrench.

Versatile as slotted for several different driveshaft hub sizes. Worked well for both a ford 8.8 and a Toyota 7.5

Thick heavy piece. Works great for any vehicle to get that pinion tight to spec!

I used this product to tighten my rear pinion nut on a 2002 ford excursion with a 10.5 sterling axle. I was able to complete this job but just barely.The good Tool showed up as stated Tool was well madeThe Bad The plate is flat and was just slightly larger than my pinion/axle flange. The slotted holes had to be bored out to accommodate my flange bolts. I had to use my lathe to cut some spacers to put behind the flange to create a gap between the flange and wrench so the the 1/2" drive breaker bar would fully insert into the yoke wrench. The nut on this pinion yoke can take around 275 ftlb to reach the desired drag. I used a 3' 1/2" drive breaker bar in the yoke wrench and let it rest on the floor while i tightened the nut with a large torque wrench. When i got to the desired drag i removed the breaker bar and realized that the 12" drive slot in this yoke wrench had almost twisted out of the plate, almost stripped out. I was able to complete the job with this tool but i think it was a one and done use. I think this would work great on smaller pinion flange applications with lower torque requirements.

Work well on my 02 Dodge Durango. I did have 2 issues though. The first was that the center hole needed filed some to enlarge it to fit properly on my flange, or I could have just used washers to space it out some. The second was when bolted tight to the flange that I have, the 1/2 and 3/4" holes for the breaker bar/holding tool was overtop the flange. I didn't feel comfortable with very little depth of the tool engagement and the possibility of the breaker bar slipping out being that the torque used exceeds 210 ft. lb. So I ended up spacing it out by 2 washers which made the tool engagement much better.To improve the tool, the tool should be made larger so that the square tool holes would be out beyond the flange that it is mounted to.

Works Great! After reading the reviews about how this plate is weak and bends, I purchased two of them and welded them together. By doubling them up, it worked perfectly! I did have to grind out a touch in the slots to get it to fit a yoke for a '71 El Camino (10 bolt 8.2" rearend). But overall it's a good product....again, if it's doubled up. I also used a 3/4" drive breaker bar instead of of a 1/2" drive and it did not mar the hole at all.

Now this tool here I almost did not buy it because of the reviews on it this is a very excellent tool to have it doesn't look like much but when you're putting 210 foot pounds of torque on A Pinyan you're definitely going to want this is a must tap tool the guy who been to that I have no idea what he did to that tool to do that I didn't even put a scratch in mind I've got a 4 foot snap on torque wrench and I use my three quarter-inch drive to foot-long snap on ratchet to hold the other worked perfectly for the job if you're thinking about working on any kind of Pinyan I would definitely suggest buying this tool it is not worth wrestling and struggling for that I know you can look on line and you can see people that use the U bolts to attach and use a prybar in between it but We all know that buying new you joints are not that much money but what is the point of Taking the chance of destroying it or snapping a nut off inside that's just more work

Bought this for installing a 1350 yoke on a Chrysler 8 3/4" diff. Worked perfectly, two holes fit the yoke bolts and away I went. I used a 3/4" drive ratchet to hold the tool while torquing the pinion nut to 240lb-ft, and I'd recommend you do the same instead of using the weaker 1/2" hole. My only complaint would be the tool appears to be bare uncoated steel, rather than the nice black finish shown in the product photos.
