An apparatus is provided for removing a component from a device, where the component includes a cylindrical portion and a shoulder adjacent the cylindrical portion. The apparatus includes a base, a puller and a shaft. The base includes a first mount, a second mount and a bridge extending between and connected to the first mount and the second mount. The first mount and the second mount are each configured to engage with the device. The puller includes a forked flange configured to abut against the shoulder of the component when the cylindrical portion of the component is within a channel of the forked flange. The shaft includes a threaded portion mated with a threaded aperture in the bridge. A distal end portion of the shaft is rotatably connected to the puller.

An oil filter wrench includes a handle, a rotation knob, a wrench unit, and a oneway control member. The wrench unit includes a threaded rod, an adjusting member, a restriction piece, a clamping member, two screw members, a support member, and a fixed member. The oneway control member is pivotally mounted in the fixed member. Thus, the clamping member and the oneway control member clamp and drive the oil filter to rotate in a oneway manner only.

An installation tool for one or more components of a fluid filter includes a first body portion configured to engage a filter socket to advance the tool and filter components into the socket, and a second body portion configured to apply a direct force to one or more filter components. The first and second body portions can rotationally move relative to each other, such that the filter components may not grind against the socket or other filter components, which can, among other things, reduce or eliminate the creation of foreign object debris and/or minimize the amount of human force required to install the filter components.

Installation system for a box profile (100) for a motor vehicle, wherein the installation system (1) has: —at least one carrier strip (10), which can be pushed into the box profile (100), —at least one nut element (20) for prepositioning on the carrier strip (10), wherein the nut element (20) is designed to be prepositioned in a releasable manner on the carrier strip (10), and the installation system (1) has a positioning strip (30), which can be displaced relative to the carrier strip (10) and is designed to arrange the at least one nut element (20), in the state in which the latter has been prepositioned on the carrier strip (10), on an opening (102) of the box profile (100). Installation method. Nut element.

A tool for the removal or installation of a fuse includes a first tool arm and a second tool arm pivotally mounted to the first tool arm about an axis. A second fuse holder spreader finger section is movable away from a first fuse holder spreader finger section and a second fuse pusher finger section is movable toward a first fuse pusher finger section in response to a first handle section being moved toward a second handle section.

A device for applying an adhesive-backed elongated seal (e.g., a weatherstrip seal) to a surface of a substrate. The device comprises a release liner removal tool having a stripper portion. The stripper portion comprises a spacer and a release liner guide surface. The spacer has a leading edge, an angled trailing edge, a central axis and a thickness profile that separates the adhesive on the back of the seal from the substrate surface while allowing the body of the seal to contact the substrate surface, when the stripper portion is positioned between the seal and the surface. The angled trailing edge has a transverse radius of curvature allowing the release liner to be removed from the adhesive, bent-backwards-over the trailing edge, and pulled-off along a portion of the guide surface, while the seal is adhered along its length to the surface.

A steering wheel cover manipulating device for installing and removing a steering wheel cover includes a bar, which is flat. The bar is arcuate proximate to a first end thereof defining a linear section of the bar and a tool head. The tool head is substantially semicircularly shaped when viewed from a respective opposed side of the bar. The tool head is substantially complementary to a cross-sectional segment of a steering wheel. The linear section can be grasped in a hand of a user so that the user is positioned to position the tool head between a steering wheel cover and the steering wheel. The tool head can be slid along an interface of the steering wheel cover and the steering wheel to facilitate installation and removal of the steering wheel cover.

A tool is disclosed for installing a roller tappet in a bore of the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The tool includes an elongated body and a connection head arranged at one end of the elongated body and configured to be at least in part inserted into an opening of the roller tappet. The tool further includes at least one reversible constraining element of the connection head to the roller tappet.

A setting tool includes: a body with at least a drive shaft connected to a pull rod designed to be screwed onto the crimp part, to drive the pull rod in rotation along an axis; a draw sleeve fixed to the body and connected to the pull rod, to translate the pull rod along the axis; and a placing nose, to house the pull rod rear end, the drive shaft front end, and the draw sleeve. The draw sleeve front end includes a cavity opening onto a first through hole on the side wall, and a second hole on the drive shaft axis of rotation, the through holes allow the pull rod front end to pass through the holes, to allow the pull rod rear end to pass through the first through hole, and to enable the pull rod to be placed along the drive shaft axis of rotation.

Disclosed is a tool for releasing an engaged state in which a receptacle-side engagement section formed on a side surface of a receptacle provided on a substrate is engaged with a connector-side engagement section of an optical connector that is attachable to and detachable from the receptacle. The tool includes: release claws to be inserted into respective gaps, each gap being formed between a member arranged between a pair of engagement side plate parts each being provided with the connector-side engagement section, and each engagement side plate part; and a guide part that comes into opposition with a side surface of the optical connector or the receptacle. By bringing the guide part into opposition with the side surface and sliding the release claws toward the substrate, the engagement side plate parts are spread outward by the release claws and the engaged state is released.
