Abstract: A packing screw removal tool for removing packing from a pump fluid end comprising: a tool body; a plurality of packing screw engagement dogs distributed about an axis of rotation about the packing screw removal tool; and a torque transfer engagement post coupled to the tool body. The engagement dogs align with and are releasably connected to radial locations on the packing screw. Applied torque is transferred through a torque transfer engagement post, through the tool body to the engagement dogs and into the packing nut. A second torque transfer engagement post is smaller than the first engagement post. The shape of the tool body allows rotation in limited or confined space. A pump may be serviced at the wellsite by utilizing the packing screw removal tool to unthread the packing screw from the fluid end.
