USAG Pliers for Rubber Exhaust Hangers - compresses the rubber hangers when replacing or servicing exhaust systems. USAG only.
USAG U08760002 (catalog designation 876) is a professional-grade exhaust pipe rubber hanger removal plier. This specialized automotive tool is engineered to quickly force the metal exhaust hanger bracket pins straight out of their synthetic rubber mounting donuts. Because exhaust hangers are subjected to extreme road grime, salt, heat cycles, and rust, extracting them manually with standard pry bars can be incredibly frustrating; this tool leverages direct mechanical pressure to slip them apart safely.
Key Design & Functional Features
- Automotive Exhaust Dismantling: Purpose-built to clear rubber tailpipe isolators on standard passenger car and commercial van exhaust systems.
- Internal Reset Spring: Designed with an integrated heavy-duty return leaf spring between the handles. This resets the pliers automatically to an open stance after every compression stroke, allowing for rapid, one-handed operation.
- Ergonomic Anti-Slip Handles: Encased in bi-material contoured sleeve handles that provide maximum grip traction and comfort when dealing with high physical pressure, even when your hands are slick with oil or under-car grime.
- Safety Profile: The broad face of the self-aligning pushing pin focuses direct axial pressure exclusively against the metal peg while supporting the outer rubber face, eliminating the risk of puncturing or tearing expensive exhaust hanger bushings.
