  • Patent number: 5271136
    Abstract: A press to remove a pin contained in a body. The press has a housing with a recess to fit over the body with a first part of the housing on one side of the body and a second part on the other side of the body. There is a channel in the first part of the housing, and a channel in the second part of the housing. These channels are substantially coaxial. The channel in the first part of the housing has a threaded portion. It receives a threaded member that is able to extend into the channel. A sleeve is received in the channel. A spring tends to urge the sleeve from the channel. The arrangement is such that the sleeve may be positioned over one end of the pin and the threaded member rotated to drive the pin along the channels and out of the body.

  • Patent number: 5177851
    Abstract: A puller for a brake slack adjuster having a housing mounted on a mounting shaft and an elongate arm comprising a central portion having a threaded opening alignable with the mounting shaft, a first grasping arm extending from the central portion adapted to straddle and engage the adjuster housing and a second arm extending from the central portion adapted to overlie the adjuster elongate arm. A connecting bolt extendable between the second arm and the adjuster elongate arm is provided to allow for joining of the two arms. A threaded shaft is located in the threaded opening and engages the end of the mounting shaft whereby turning the threaded shaft acts to move the puller relative to the mounting shaft such that the adjuster is pulled from the mounting shaft. In a second embodiment, the central portion is formed with a cup-shaped flange adapted to surround a portion of the member to be removed from the shaft.
