  • Patent number: 6006409
    Abstract: A clamping and separating device for removal of bearing shells has first and second jaws and at least one bolt inserted in an insertion direction into the first and second jaws for clamping the first and second jaws relative to one another. The bolt has depressions arranged in a longitudinal direction of the bolt and spaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction. A locking element is mounted in the first jaw and selectively engages in a locking position one of the depressions for locking the bolt. A spring biases the locking element in a direction counter to the insertion direction into a rest position. The locking element is releaseable from the locking position against the force of the spring to allow removal of the bolt in a direction counter to the insertion direction.
