  • Patent number: 7328501
    Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method are provided to separate a gear from a shaft. The apparatus, the system and the method implement a base plate, a handle, a face plate, a first fastener, a second fastener, and/or a press. The gear is attached to a shaft of a motor. The fasteners connect and/or attach the face plate to the base plate. The fasteners extend through a passage in the gear. The gear is positioned between the face plate and the base plate which abuts a backside of the gear. The press is inserted into a central hole of the face plate and/or abuts a second side of the gear. The base plate maintains the gear in a stationary position with respect to the face plate and/or the press. The press engages the shaft and/or pulls the gear inward with respect to the face plate. As a result, a first side of the base plate moves the gear inward with respect to the face plate.
