  • Publication number: 20150020360
    Abstract: A method of removing a bushing secured within a blind hole defined in a machine component is disclosed. The method includes inserting a cylindrical portion of a tool at least partly in an opening adjacent to the blind hole. The method includes positioning an elongate member of the tool that extends from the cylindrical portion co-axially with the blind hole. The elongate member includes four corner portions disposed at an end distal to the cylindrical portion and defines an effective diameter of the elongate member less than a diameter of the blind hole. The method includes driving the block member towards the machine component to insert the elongate member into the blind hole, separating the bushing into at least four parts via the corner portions, removing the elongate member from the blind hole, and removing the parts from the blind hole.
