An assembly tool for changing bushings for a lower arm includes a bushing connecting part into which a bushing is inserted and a main shaft inserted into components. A main adapter assembling unit supports or presses the bushing and a detachment adapter receives the bushing when detaching the bushing. A mounting adapter supports a first end of the bushing when mounting the bushing and a mounting guide ring guides an insertion depth of the bushing when mounting the bushing so that components used to change the bushings may be assembled in accordance with a shape of a lower arm on which the bushing is to be mounted.

A device to extract a support yoke from a reheat stop valve of a steam turbine is provided. The device includes a hydraulic cylinder for applying a pushing force to the support yoke, an attachment weldment for attaching the hydraulic cylinder to the reheat stop valve casing, and a conical cylinder coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and configured to evenly impart the pushing force to the support yoke from within the reheat stop valve in order to separate the reheat stop valve from the support yoke. A method to extract a support yoke from a reheat stop valve of a steam turbine is also provided.

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.

A grommet removal assembly includes a grommet and a grommet removal tool. The grommet includes a body defining a longitudinal axis, a plurality of arms extending from the body, the plurality of arms defining first engagement ramps, and a plurality of legs extending from the body. The grommet removal tool includes a shaft and a plurality of wings extending from the shaft and defining a plurality of second engagement ramps. The first engagement ramps of the wings are capable of engagement with the second engagement ramps along the plurality of arms to draw the arms inward, toward the longitudinal axis of the body.

An adapter for a bearing race and seal driver tool that allows the tool to be used in hard to reach applications. The adapter connects to a driver and a handle at a non-zero angle, for example a right angle, to allow the adapter to be struck at a face of the adapter rather than the handle to be struck at an end of the handle. A pocket is included at one or more connection points between the adapter and the handle or driver to resist rotational movement of the handle or driver.

The device disclosed herein allows a user to maintain the outboard stabilator of a Blackhawk helicopter. The device, which comprises a kit, allows a user to remove damaged outdoor stabilator bushings from a Blackhawk. Upon removal, the device enables a user to install new outdoor stabilator bushings. Additionally, the device allows a user to ream the newly installed outdoor stabilator bushings so that the outboard stabilator may be reinstalled upon the Blackhawk and safely flown.

A press tool is provided, including a base, a threaded shaft and an attachment member. The base has a head portion, a body portion and a foot portion. The head portion has a threaded hole. The foot portion has a through hole. The threaded shaft is movably screwed with the threaded hole. The threaded shaft has a first press portion configured for pushing an inner member received in a bushing disposed within a seat body. The pushing assembly is detachably disposed on the first pushing portion. The attachment member has a second press portion configured to press the bushing.

An installation tool for installing a seal includes a shaft and a seal-engaging component coupled with the shaft. During an installation of the seal, the seal-engaging component is adapted to couple with the seal. The seal-engaging component includes a first surface and a second surface. The seal-engaging component also includes a first annular ring extending from the first surface and adapted to engage with the seal for coupling the seal with the seal-engaging component. The seal-engaging component further includes a second annular ring extending from the first surface. The installation tool also includes a sliding hammer adapted to slide along a length of the shaft. During the installation of the seal, the sliding hammer is adapted to apply a force to the seal-engaging component for installing the seal at a seal installation location.

A removal tool for a filter insert of a liquid filter. The removal tool includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. At a distal end, the body includes a first arm and a second arm, the two arms extending essentially in parallel to the longitudinal axis and being spaced apart from one another. The two arms are elastically reversibly deflectable toward one another. A retaining element is situated at the first arm. In an open state of the retaining element, the two arms may be moved toward one another. In a closed state of the retaining element, the retaining element couples the two arms to one another and blocks a movement of the two arms toward one another.

A heavy-duty vehicle maintenance tool applicable to mount or remove a component from a gearbox has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined extension along a central axis. The tool further including a cylindrical wall enclosing an inner cylindrical cavity and connecting an open first end and a closed second end. The tool has a first end arranged to be placed in contact with a corresponding surface on a component to be mounted and a second end arranged to be subjected to an external force in order to mount or remove the component. The second end includes an internal reinforcing lattice structure within the cavity. The tool is a lightweight, one-piece thermoplastic component and is produced using an additive manufacturing process.
