  • Patent number: 10183386
    Abstract: A blind hole puller kit includes a plurality of different sized collets, a plurality of pins, an adapter, and a pulling device. The pins have differently sized first ends corresponding to the collets, and second ends that include a common mounting interface receivable in the adapter. A pin corresponding to a desired collet is configured to be mounted via it mounting interface into the adapter to form an actuating device. The actuating device, via an external thread of the adapter, is configured to be threaded into an internal thread of the collet to actuate tines of the collet to grip the inner surface of a hole to be pulled. An end of the adapter opposite the pin is configured to be mounted to the pulling device, whereby the pulling device can be operated to pull the hole.

  • Patent number: 9981368
    Abstract: A bushing service tool kit includes a clamping plate, head plate, and a mounting plate for a hydraulic cylinder, as well as a clamping member. An alignment member is mounted on one side of a bushing that is mounted in a bushing mount and that is to be replaced, and the clamping plate is mounted over the alignment member. The head plate is mounted on an opposite side of the bushing, and the clamping member clamps the head plate and clamping plate toward each other to clamp the bushing mount therebetween. The mounting plate, with a hydraulic cylinder mounted thereon, is mounted on the clamping member facing toward the clamping plate, whereby the hydraulic cylinder is aligned with the bushing. The cylinder can then be operated to remove the bushing and install a replacement.
