A tool for pushing a half shaft out from an opening in the hub of a motor vehicle and for installing a hub onto the half shaft. The tool includes a housing attached to the lug bolts of the hub and having an opening for receiving a drive screw. A contactor is secured to the forward end of the screw for abutting the outer end of the shaft. As the screw is rotated to move in a forward direction, the contactor in response moves longitudinally in the forward direction, to push the shaft out from the hub. To install the shaft in the hub, a rammer is secured to the bolts of the hub. The rammer includes a head end for abutting the area of the hub circumscribing the hub opening and an impact end. Upon applying a force to the impact end, the head end pushes the hub over the shaft. A cavity is formed rearward from the head end of the rammer to receive the outer end of the shaft when it extends outward from the hub.
