Abstract: A method of installing a seal in a bore of a component includes securing a base plate to a component. The method includes arranging the seal onto a pusher. The method also includes inserting the pusher into a hole in the base plate. The method further includes installing a hub onto the base plate and over the pusher. The method further includes rotating a rod relative to the hub to advance the pusher and seat the seal in the bore.

Abstract: A method of providing a pressure test on a tube to identify leakage includes the steps of (a) mounting a clamp on a tube adjacent an end and such that a plug which is part of the tool is positioned to plug an inlet into the tube, (b) actuating the tool to cause the plug to provide a fluid tight seal in the inlet, and (c) applying a source of pressure to the tube, and monitoring the pressure within the tube, and identifying a leak should the pressure drop more than a predetermined amount in a particular period of time. A tool for use in providing a seal on a tube end to allow a pressure test is also disclosed.

Abstract: A punch assembly includes a punch that defines an axis and a sleeve that is spring biased to the punch, the sleeve movable axially along the axis between a compressed position and an extended position.

Abstract: Methods and tools are provided for pressing a ring seal into a component. In one method, a tool is anchored to the component. The tool includes a first aperture which extends along an axis. The first aperture is coaxial with a second aperture in the component. The ring seal is pushed axially through the first aperture towards the component, where the tool radially compresses the ring seal as the ring seal moves axially towards the component. The radially compressed ring seal is pressed into the second aperture using the tool.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a safety adapter that is removably and replaceably securable to a hollow lock nut hydraulic cylinder that includes a threaded collar. The safety adapter may comprise a cylindrical sidewall having a distal axial end and proximate axial end, that at the distal axial end includes a top surface having a center through hole and at the proximate axial end includes a sidewall threaded surface on an interior surface of the cylindrical sidewall configured and arranged to engage with the threaded collar.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to installing a test assembly on an aircraft engine, connecting a vacuum source to at least one port of the test assembly, engaging the vacuum source, and based on determining that a vacuum is maintained in an amount greater than a threshold, determining that a plurality of seals are present in the engine.
