Structure for use in manipulating an axle such as during installation in and removal thereof from a vehicle drive assembly. The structure includes a construction at one end of the drive axle arranged to be received in a socket end portion of a puller tool. The axle end construction and the socket configuration are coordinated so as to provide a snug fitted association therebetween when the puller tool is installed on the axle end. The axle end and puller tool define cooperating threaded surfaces for removably securing the puller tool to the axle end and additional support surfaces are provided to provide a positive surface engagement between the puller tool and axle end for positive control of the axle during the installation and removal operations. A limit surface is provided for indicating the fitted association of the puller tool to the axle end. The puller tool may include an elongated outer handle portion for facilitated manipulation of the axle secured to the inner end of the tool in cantilevered fashion.
