Application

The No. 90700 is a go-to tool in situations where the removal of a front hub assembly is required, such as hub and axle assembly replacement or replacing axle shafts, U-joints, and axle seals.

Origin

According to the company, Cal-Van Tools originally produced the Dodge Wheel and Hub Removal Adapter, No. 90300; when the time came to develop a Ford version of the tool, Cal-Van thought it would be best to offer technicians a version with the flexibility to work on multiple vehicles. The adapter was designed to convert the existing No. 90300 into a tool capable for Ford applications.

Manufacturing specs

The No. 90700 measures 1.13” by 1.13” by 5.4”, weighs 1.07 lbs, and is made in Taiwan. It is rated S45C HRC:34-36 and has a manganese-phosphate finish.

Storage and display

The No. 90700 is packaged individually with blister and cardboard backing. Cal-Van Tools recommends placing it next to existing front hub removers, front axle hub nut sockets, or any driveline related product.

Demonstration

Having one No. 90700 out of the packaging will allow technicians to see the interlocking function of the two pieces.
