The ATC1695 Rockwell Slack Adjuster Puller – 10407 is a heavy-duty brake service tool designed to safely, efficiently, and professionally remove Rockwell style automatic slack adjusters from heavy-duty truck axles. Slack adjusters are critical components in air-brake systems that help maintain proper brake push-rod travel. When they wear out, seize, or need replacement, removing them without the proper tool can be difficult and risky.
Improvised techniques such as prying, hammering, or torching often result in bent adjusters, damaged threads, broken cam yokes, or compromised axle components. The ATC1695 provides controlled, straight-pull force that safely disengages the slack adjuster from the brake cam shaft without collateral damage. Its robust design and professional build make it ideal for use in diesel repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and brake service operations.

Why It Matters
Slack adjusters are mounted tightly onto the brake cam shaft and often corrode over time due to exposure to the environment. Removing them without the right tool can turn a routine brake job into a costly repair if surrounding components are damaged. The ATC1695 Rockwell Slack Adjuster Puller (10407) provides professionals with a safe, reliable solution to extract these components efficiently, maintain brake system integrity, and minimize downtime.
