  • Patent number: 9539712
    Abstract: A tool and kit for removal of a broken spark plug from a cylinder head may include first and/or second tools, and/or a supplemental tool. The first tool is designed to position a broken porcelain element into the spark plug tip so that a second tool may be utilized to engage the tip by threading into the tip and thereafter axially withdrawing the plug tip from the cylinder head into the hollow tubular member. The supplemental tool may be utilized to engage the plug wire contact of a plug with axially projecting, elastic cantilever segments and axially withdraw the attached plug contact into a hollow tubular member.

  • Publication number: 20140007400
    Abstract: A system and method for removing adjacent rims from dual wheel vehicles is provided. The system and method involve the use of a specialized tool that comprises a threaded bolt, a pusher assembly coupled to one end of the threaded bolt, and a puller assembly threadably connected to the bolt proximate the other end and separated a prescribed distance from the pusher assembly. The pusher assembly has an engagement face configured to engage an outer edge of a wheel rim or a surface of a rotor or drum. The puller assembly has a shoulder portion with an engagement surface configured to also engage with an edge of the adjacent wheel rim. As the threaded bolt is rotated, the pusher assembly remains in a general stationary orientation while the puller assembly moves axially along the threaded bolt away from the pusher assembly to loosen or separate the wheel rim.
