Review on 🔧 JTC 4158: Efficient Drive Axle Nut Installer and Remover Tool for Toyota by Robert Lewis

These two tools are used to crimp and "break out" the spindle nut on the CV shaft. Crimping a nut onto a shaft is not a difficult task, most mechanics simply use a cold steel chisel to do the job. And I haven't used a crimping tool yet. I wanted a different tool to "spread" the nut off the shaft. I have found that using other tools for this (like a center punch) will damage the threads on the nut and then removing will damage the threads on the CV shaft. I was hoping this tool would "unthread" the nut well enough to hold the threads on the CV shaft. But I found that the threads on the CV shaft were damaged in the same way as when using a center punch. Hence, I was disappointed with the results of using this tool.
