A puller includes a collar, claws, a synchronizer and a threaded rod. The collar includes a space, a screw hole in communication with the space, slots in communication with the space, and pivotal connectors located corresponding to the slots. The claws are pivotally connected to the pivotal connectors. Each of the claws includes a protuberance movable in and along a corresponding one of the slots. The synchronizer includes a receiving portion for receiving the protuberances. The synchronizer is movable in the collar between an opening position and a closing position. In the opening position, the synchronizer opens the claws by the protuberances. In the closing position, the synchronizer closes the claws by the protuberances. The threaded rod is inserted in the screw hole of the collar.

A chain tool with a main body having a first body portion and a second body portion. A driving mechanism is supported by the first body portion and movable toward and away from the second body portion. The driving mechanism includes a first driving member adapted to retain one of a pair of plates of a chain and a second driving member adapted to drive a pin through the pair of plates. A stopper adapted to stop the pin selectively connected with the second body portion between a first and a second connection way. The second body portion has a slot for connecting the stopper. In the first connection way, the stopper includes a first end inserted in the slot. In the second connection way the stopper includes a second end inserted in the slot.

A claw assembly includes a collar, claws and a synchronizer The collar includes slots. The claws are pivotally connected to the collar. Each of the claws includes a protuberance extending into the collar via one of the slots. The protuberances are movable along the slots. The synchronizer includes a receiving portion for receiving the protuberances. The receiving portion of the synchronizer is movable in the collar between an opening position and a closing position. The synchronizer opens the claws by the protuberances in the opening position. The synchronizer closes the claws by the protuberances in the closing position.

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.

A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed, with a narrow gap between facing pressure plates allowing use of the tool in tight places, and ratcheting spreading of the facing pressure plates causing outward moving of the pistons, enabling work to be performed, wherein movement of a threaded stud through a coupler moves a first pressure plate.

An extraction tool for extracting a shim located in a turbomachine and provided with a through-hole, includes an extractor pin configured to be inserted into the through-hole of the shim; a first gripping member with a first distal end intended to be positioned opposite the through-hole on a first side of the shim and arranged to retain a first end of the extractor pin; and a second gripping member including a second distal end intended to be positioned opposite the through-hole on a second, opposite side of the shim, and arranged to retain a second, opposite end of the extractor pin, after the extractor pin has been inserted into the through-hole of the shim.

A bell cup multi-tool and method is provided for ergonomic straight-line force applications. The multi-tool includes a manipulator for providing the straight-line pressure to a distributor in a bell cup for installation or removal. The multi-tool also includes a base for securing the bell cup in a desired orientation.

A tool includes an operative rod, a guiding rod, a conveying screw and two detaching elements. The guiding rod includes a middle section connected to the operative rod and two terminal sections extending from the middle section. The conveying screw includes two threaded sections. Threads of the threaded sections extend in opposite directions. Each of the detaching elements includes a fixing aperture and a screw hole. The fixing aperture receives a corresponding one of the terminal sections of the guiding rod. The screw hole receives a corresponding one of the threaded sections of the conveying screw. Thus, the detaching elements are moved toward each other when the conveying screw is rotated in a first direction and that the detaching elements are moved from each other when the conveying screw is rotated in a second direction.

A method for disassembling a pipe joint is provided. A radially expandable sleeve positioned on a shaft is inserted into a distal open end of a pipe of the pipe joint. A sleeve nut on a threaded portion of the shaft is tightened against the sleeve to urge the sleeve to longitudinally slide along a tapered distal end of the shaft in a distal direction. The sleeve radially expands as the sleeve slides in the distal direction along the tapered distal end of the shaft. The sleeve is radially expanded until an interference fit is formed between the sleeve and the pipe. A force is then exerted upon the shaft to urge the shaft in a proximal direction and remove the pipe from a pipe fitting of the pipe joint.
