ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a tool for removing threaded fasteners of varying configurations of the type commonly employed to retain a vehicle shock absorber in an associated cylindrical shroud. The tool comprises a main body portion of a generally rectangular box-like configuration having a plurality of fastener engaging means formed on the surfaces thereof. Each of the fastener engaging means has a separate fastener engaging configuration for engagement with a particular type of fastener. The main body has at least one keyway formed to extend along a portion of one of the outer surfaces of the body, with a piston rod receiving channel extending through the body and terminating in the keyway. A pair of spaced apart keys are slidably mounted in the keyway of the body. Each of the keys has a fastener engaging means formed thereon for engagement with a particular type of threaded fastener. In one embodiment, a pair of handles extend in opposite directions from the main body and are utilized to operate the tool when the associated suspension unit is removed from the vehicle. In the event the suspension remains partially attached to the vehicle, an elongate extension unit is utilized to insert the main body through an access hole typically provided in the inner vehicle fender panel and position the main body on top of the associated fastener.
