  • Patent number: 6935004
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved propellor puller device for pulling a propellor hub from a marine engine. The propellor puller has a hub base member that has a central axis and a multiplicity of puller arms extending radially from the central axis. A threaded bolt threadably engages the hub base member so that rotation of the bolt is translated into axial displacement of the hub base member. Tension members composed of a series of chain links are slidably carried by a respective puller arm and attachable by a hook to a propellor blade. As tension in the tension members increases, the tension members will slide radially inwardly towards the central axis.

  • Publication number: 20030106968
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an exhaust system tool and a method for use thereof. The tool includes a pair of clamps connected by a coupler. The clamps are selectively openable to receive tubular members of the exhaust system. When a force is applied to the coupler, the clamps move relative to one another to separate or join the tubular members of the exhaust system.
