Toyota 8in Front Diff CV Axle Bearing Puller, 18195

A dedicated puller for the needle bearing that supports the front CV axle in the Toyota 8 inch front differential, the tool Toyota lists as 18195. It is the bearing that wears out when the front diff seal starts weeping or the inner CV shows play on a lift.

The bearing sits deep in the housing bore, so a generic blind-hole puller rarely gets a clean bite and a punch-and-hammer job usually scores the bore. This tool is sized to that bearing and pulls it straight out under controlled force, so the load stays centered and the bore is left clean for the new bearing and seal. On high-mileage trucks where rust has seized the bearing, that controlled pull is what keeps you from damaging the housing.

On the truck: pull the CV axle and the old seal, seat the puller in the bearing, then draw the bearing out. Drive the new bearing and seal in with a matched driver and reinstall the axle.
