ABSTRACT:
A tool to remove shock absorbers from an automobile comprising an elongated barrel or tubular portion have a hollow bore extending therethrough and a ribbed socket at one end to receive the retaining nut at the top of a shock absorber mounted on an automobile. The barrel or tubular portion has an abutment flange extending outwardly along the side wall to catch and bear against a portion of the A-frame part of the vehicle which is adjacent to the shock absorber. The abutment flange keeps the barrel or tubular portion of the tool from rotating and holds the retaining nut received in the socket of the tool from rotating. A socket wrench is inserted down through the bore of the barrel or tubular portion of the tool to receive the head of the bolt or rod which holds the shock absorber in place. The cross-sectional configuration of the cavity of the socket wrench corresponds to the cross-sectional configuration of the head of the shock absorber bolt, whereby the bolt or rod can be rotated to unscrew from the retaining nut while the latter is held by the barrel or tubular portion of the tool having its abutment flange engaged against a portion of the A-frame to keep it and the retaining nut from rotating. The threaded portion of the rod or bolt is rotated until it has become completely disengaged from the retaining nut after which the shock absorber can be removed.
