  • Brake key screw removal system and device
    Patent number: 11084603
    Abstract: The invention's structure provides a device for removing stuck brake key screws from an aircraft's landing gear's wheels. The device generally comprises a base bottom, right and left side arms, a threaded rod, and a screw driver bit holder. The curvature of the base bottom preferably matches the curvature of a wheel hub opposite to the location of a stuck screw. When operationally used, the device provides for optimal or virtually optimal engagement of the device with the head of a screw to be removed.

  • BRAKE KEY SCREW REMOVAL SYSTEM, DEVICE, AND METHOD OF USE
    Publication number: 20190225352
    Abstract: The present invention is a device, system and method for removing stuck brake key screws. Specifically, the invention is capable of ensuring a more effective means and method for removing stuck brake key screws from an aircraft's landing gear wheel hub half. More specifically, the invention provides for optimal or virtually optimal engagement of the device with the head of a screw to be removed, and which, it is the inventor's belief, allows for the virtually optimal transmission of screw removal torque to a screw, which should minimize the likelihood of stripping the head of the stuck screw and, if stripped, the need to expend the time and effort to drill out the screw.
