Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having a puller tool assembly for removing a wear sleeve from a tail-rotor hub assembly of a rotorcraft. The puller tool assembly may have an interior shaft slidably engaged within an exterior cylindrical body. The puller tool assembly may have a restraint cap coupled to the interior shaft at a first end of the exterior shaft with a fastener. The puller tool assembly may have a mandrel coupled to the interior shaft at a second end of the exterior shaft. The exterior cylindrical body may be inserted within the wear sleeve between the restraint cap and the mandrel. The mandrel may expand to grasp the wear sleeve when the exterior shaft is tightened so as to pull the wear sleeve toward the restraint cap.

A tool system for mounting an elastic sleeve includes a holdout tube supporting the elastic sleeve prior to and during mounting, the holdout tube having a longitudinal axis, an interface element movable along the longitudinal axis and transferring pressure onto the elastic sleeve to push the elastic sleeve off the holdout tube during mounting, and an actuation lever engaging the holdout tube at a fulcrum region of the actuation lever. The actuation lever has a pair of load arms partly encompassing the holdout tube. A load region is arranged at a peripheral end of each of the load arms. The actuation lever actuates the interface element by pressing the load regions of the actuation lever against the interface element.

A method of manufacturing a vehicle suspension component includes inserting a cover body into an aperture of a housing, the cover body being disposed about a central axis concentric with the aperture of the housing, the cover body having a convex side and a concave side and an outer perimeter disposed about the central axis, the cover body defining a threaded bore concentric with the central axis, and deforming the cover body into retaining engagement with the housing by pressing against the convex side until the cover body is at least partial deformed and the outer perimeter is expanded compared to a pre-deformed state of the cover body.

An apparatus for providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft includes an attaching member releasably connectable to the shaft. A press mechanism is coupled to the attaching member and is configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing. An optical sending unit is configured to output a high intensity light to allow a user to locate a shaft slot of the shaft to align the press mechanism relative to the shaft when the attaching member connects to the shaft.

An assembly device for pressing and/or retracting components into an opening in a housing part and/or for sliding on and/or pulling off components, including a base body and a counterpart, the base body has a reciever for receiving the counterpart, a tube with a contact section, the tube is slid in sections over the base body, and the tube and the base body are displaceable relative to each other by at least one actuator so that the distance is variable between the contact section and the reciever. In a method, a component is arranged in front of one side of an opening, the counterpart is passed from the other side of the opening through the opening and the component, the counterpart is connected to the base body via the reciever, and the distance between the contact section and the reviever is changed by the actuator to press in the bearing.

A puller tool comprises a cross bar with a central portion having a through hole defining a first axis; a forcing screw configured to extend through the through hole; and an adapter detachably attached to the cross bar and having a threaded hole defining a second axis for the forcing screw, and wherein the first axis and second axis are substantially aligned. The adapter comprises a threaded hole configured to receive the forcing screw and defining a second axis, wherein the first axis and second axis are substantially aligned; a base portion containing the threaded hole and arrangeable adjacent a first axial side of the cross bar; at least a first wall portion extending away from the base portion and arrangeable adjacent to a first lateral side of the central portion of the cross bar, and wherein the adapter is detachably attachable to the cross bar.

A sleeve installer is provided, including: a threaded rod; an abutting unit, disposed around and movable along the threaded rod, including first and second abutting assemblies, one of the first and second abutting assemblies being configured to be abutted against a barrel portion of a sleeve assembly, the other of the first and second abutting assemblies being configured to be abutted against a tubular member of the sleeve assembly; and a push unit, including first and second push members which are connected to two opposite ends of the threaded rod, at least one of the first and second push members being movably screwed to the threaded rod, the first push member including a head portion and an urging assembly located at a side of the head portion, the urging assembly and the second push member being respectively abutted against two opposite sides of the abutting unit.

A tool is formed of an upper component and a lower component. An intermediate component is formed of a first plate and a parallel second plate. The first plate and the second plate span the lower end of the upper component forming an upper pivot point and span the upper end of the lower component forming a lower pivot point. A foot is integrally formed with and extends r the lower component. A handle is formed of a cross piece with a central extent from the lower component adjacent to the lower end of extent central extent being attached to the upper end of the upper component.
