Tool for extracting annular carbon face seal from bore of equipment which seal is installed. Tool has extraction-tube for insertion into bore at entrance so, when extraction-tube is fully inserted into bore, multi-legged collet formed at distal-end of extraction-tube located within seal and proximal-end of extraction-tube accessible at entrance of bore. Tool has elongate-member extending along central passage of extraction-tube. Wedge element provided at distal-end of elongate-member located at mouth of collet. Proximal-end of elongate-member accessible at proximal-end of extraction-tube. Tool has support for reacting axial extraction force applied to extraction-tube to equipment. Tool has first-actuator at proximal-end of elongate-member. Tool configured so first-actuator causes wedge element to be pulled into collet, thereby expanding collet and causing to grip inner surface of seal. Tool has actuation second-actuator which operatively connects extraction-tube and support arrangement so actuation of second-actuator causes axial extraction force to extraction tube, whereby extraction force, reacted to equipment, extracts seal from bore when seal is gripped by collet.

The auto window belt molding removal tool is for removing the auto window belt molding from the auto body door panel. This thin strong tool has a thin handle at one end of the shaft, at the other end is a hook with a unique flat angle. Easily inserted between the auto window and the auto window belt molding, with a twist to align the unique flat angle to get purchase on the auto window belt molding and detach it from the retainer.

A tool for removing a component from a turbomachine is provided. The tool includes a body having a connection portion for engaging the component. The tool additionally includes a force section connected to the body and configured to transfer a force to the connection portion in a direction at an acute angle relative to longitudinal axis of a dovetail slot of a rotor wheel adjacent to the component.

A device, a modular construction system and a method for inserting an elastic ring into an inner groove of a workpiece opening provides that the device the ring is fixed by multiple retainers to specific retaining regions and between the retaining regions said ring acquires a wavy shape or crown shape in an axial direction.

A puller for pulling an element, such as a pulley or seal, from an assembly to which it is fitted. The puller generally includes a central body having a longitudinal axis, an adjustment ring threaded on the body for moving longitudinally with rotation, slide followers coupled to the ring and moving longitudinally with ring rotation, a plurality of leg assemblies, each including a foot and two legs pivotly attaching the foot to the body so as to form a parallelogram, and a arm pivotly connecting each slide follower to a leg assembly for expanding or contracting the leg assembly. Each foot has one or more foot flanges, each with an engagement surface for engaging with the element to be pulled; the orientation of the engagement surfaces being predetermined so as to not disengage from the element and to provide uniform pull and minimum pressure.

A retaining ring configured for in-field repair of a fuel injector sleeve upper seal leak, comprising: a circular side wall comprising a barrel-shaped outer surface and a substantially cylindrical inner surface; wherein the outer surface comprises a lower curved portion and a central portion having a curvature that is less pronounced than the lower curved portion; and wherein the lower curved portion is configured to guide the retaining ring into the fuel injector sleeve and the circular side wall has an outer diameter at the central portion that is larger than an inner diameter of the fuel injector sleeve at a location of the upper seal leak such that the retaining ring forces the fuel injector sleeve outwardly at the location of the upper seal leak as the retaining ring is moved into an installed position.

A leaking oil dipstick adapter is repaired by removing a flanged nut from a threaded extension of the dipstick adapter. A gasket and preferably also gasket seal forming material are applied surrounding the threaded extension of the dipstick adapter and adjacent to an exterior side of the wall of the oil pan. A washer is applied adjacent to this gasket. A nut is threaded onto the threaded extension of the dipstick adapter and applies a compression force on the washer, compressing the gasket against the exterior surface of the wall of the oil pan. A tool is preferably used to retain the dipstick adapter and keep it from falling into an interior of the oil pan during the repair.

An apparatus for inserting a seal member into a seal groove includes a tray. The tray includes a holding groove formed in a front surface for containing the seal member. The holding groove is sized and shaped to correspond with the seal groove. A method of installing a seal member into a seal groove includes aligning the holding groove with the seal groove, and applying a pressure to a back surface of the tray, thereby deforming the tray and inserting the seal member into the seal groove.

A method of installing a seal in a bore of a component includes, among other things, slidably orienting the component in a support fixture. The method includes securing a base plate to the component. The method includes arranging the seal onto a pusher. The method also includes inserting the pusher into a hole in the base plate. The method further includes installing a hub onto the base plate and over the pusher. The method further includes rotating a rod relative to the hub to advance the pusher and seat the seal in the bore.

A fluid end block for a reciprocating pump defines a fluid chamber and a packing bore. An outlet fluid passage is formed in the fluid end block in communication with the fluid chamber and includes an outlet valve. An inlet fluid passage is formed in the fluid end block in fluid communication with the fluid chamber and includes an inlet valve. A plunger is reciprocally disposed in the packing bore. Packing in the packing bore is positioned to contact the plunger and a packing sleeve is disposed between the packing and the packing bore. The packing sleeve is a hollow cylinder with inner and outer surfaces and an inner end configured to be inserted into the packing bore. The inner end includes a bevel extending between the outer surface and the inner end, the outer surface including a notch formed therein adjacent the inner end.
