U-Joint Taper Pin Removal Tool for Piper Control Yoke 

An affordable tool to quickly remove stuck taper pins

Piper AD2010-15-10 requires inspection of the connection between the control yoke universal joint and the shaft on the forward (engine) end of the joint. Removing the taper pin that holds the shaft and u-joint together can be very difficult due to the limited space behind the panel. To make matters worse, there isn't anything solid to hammer against, and using a hammer may damage the control yoke structure or delicate avionics.

The McFarlane taper pin removal tool makes this job easy and safe even with the most stubborn taper pins. Simply position the tool on the u-joint and tighten the bolts until the pin breaks free.

• Makes removal of stuck pins easy
• Prevents damage from hammering behind the panel
• Compact to get into tight spaces

This simple, affordable tool will save you hours of labor and frustration.  

• Durable heat treated 4140 alloy steel 
• Convenient kits help comply with AD2010-15-10 and Piper Service Bulletin 1197D
• Piper aircraft models PA28, PA32, PA34 and PA44

Customer Testimonial:
"A little feedback on the Taper Pin Removal tool P/N TOOL107. I was in the process of complying with the AD requiring the removal and inspection of the Piper control yoke universal to sprocket shaft fitting. I had completed the inspection on two aircraft and had really struggled to get the taper pin out on each yoke. Finally, on the third aircraft, I just couldn't get one out and decided to order this tool. I was amazed at how easy it made the job."   ~Anonymous (01/17/11)
