Abstract: A tool for immobilizing the head of the cushion plunger of an archery bow, without having to remove the former from the bow. The tool comprises a cylindrical member which is attachable to the rear portion of the cushion plunger after the closure cap of the latter is removed. The cylindrical member is made with a bore and a rod extending through the bore and forwardly thereof, being rigidly secured at its rear end to the cylindrical member. The tool is attached to the cushion plunger so that the rod immobilizes the plunger element by pressing against it. The tool can also be used to install two different sizes of archery nocks by use of two different openings at the other end of the tool.

Abstract: A bearing extractor having a support element in which a rod is positioned such that the rod is capable of expanding, within a bearing, the prongs of a bearing grasping assembly. Once the prongs of the bearing grasping assembly grasp the bearing, the bearing is raised by the rod until the case surrounding the bearing engages the support element. Thereafter continued raising of the rod removes the bearing from its case.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing a propeller hub secured by a nut to a tapered drive shaft. A puller abutment is fixed to the hub in position to engage the nut and prevent axial movement of the nut relative to the hub. Rotation of the nut against the axially immovable abutment results in axial movement of the hub, nut and abutment relative to the shaft, separating the hub from the shaft. Continued rotation of the nut separates the hub and nut from the shaft.

Abstract: A stud removing tool for removing a threaded stud from an associated stud mounting member having an elongated sleeve member with an internally threaded gripping end and an internally tapered stud locking end. A pilot member having a closed drive end, and an internally threaded bore end is provided. The drive end has an external angle of taper less than the internal angle of taper of the sleeve member, in which the angle of taper increases as it is directed toward the internally threaded bore end. The bore end of the pilot member has multiple finger splits directed from the open end to the closed end. When the tool is in use, the pilot is co-axially disposed in the sleeve member, with the bore end of the pilot threaded onto the end of a stud. A plug member is provided, having a driving end and an externally threaded mating end adapted to engage the internally threaded gripping end of the sleeve member and to axially abut the closed end of the pilot member.

Abstract: A tool for removing and replacing automobile wheelbearings without removing either the axle or the bearing housing and without applying pressure to the axle. A frame is provided which is adapted to be secured to the bearing housing. An extractor is movably connected to the frame to travel between an advanced and retracted position. When the frame is secured to the bearing housing, the advanced position of the extractor places it in the bearing housing between the axle and the central opening of the bearing, with the end of the extractor being past the bearing. The end of the extractor is operable between an expanded and retracted state. In its expanded state, the end of the extractor cannot be moved through the central opening of the bearing and thus moving the extractor to its retracted position while it is expanded will draw the bearing out of the housing.

Abstract: A tool for pressing a bearing onto a shaft includes a threaded rod for connection to the shaft and an elongated tubular presser member coaxially received on the rod. A nut threaded on the free end of the rod is rotated to move the presser member in pressing engagement with a bearing to be seated on the shaft. A presser bearing assembly received on the free end of the shaft between the nut and the presser member enables the nut to turn freely on the rod and relative to other parts of the installation tool and the shaft. A plurality of presser plates adapt the tool for use in installing bearings in a wide range of sizes.

Abstract: A universal tool for installing harmonic balancers upon the end of an internal combustion engine crankshaft. The tool comprises an elongated threaded shaft having an inner end which includes a removable threaded adapter for attaching the shaft to the end of the crankshaft by means of an axial threaded hole in the crankshaft end. A bolt connects the threaded adapter to the shaft, and a thrust bearing slidably mounted upon the shaft is axially forced into engagement with the balancer by a shaft mounted nut whereby rotation of the nut forces the thrust bearing against the balancer pushing the balancer upon the crankshaft. The use of adapters having various sizes and thread specifications permits the tool to be employed with a wide variety of crankshaft sizes and models.

Abstract: A tool (10) for extracting a tubing segment (52) from a member (50) in which the tubing segment is inserted includes first and second handles (12, 14) terminating at adjacent ends in respective first and second jaws (16, 18). The handles are pivotally coupled and are configured so that, as the handles are swung toward each other, the jaw portions are separated. The jaws have mutually aligned apertures (30, 32) through which extends a rod or needle (44) having a first end (44a) extending beyond one of the jaws and a second end (44b) extending beyond the other of the jaws. The second end of the rod is externally threaded. A knob (46) is affixed to the first end of the rod for the purpose of threading the threaded end of the rod into the tubing segment and for bearing against the surface of the jaw adjacent the first end of the rod so that, as the jaws are separated, the threaded end of the rod is drawn through the aperture, drawing with it the tubing segment to be removed.

Abstract: A hand-held tool to use in extracting ring seats from housings such as small engine carburetor needle inlet valves is disclosed. The tool has a generally cylindrical handle means. From one end of the handle means a helical or threaded arm projects, ending in a tip. By inserting the extracting arm into the housing, pressing the arm end opposite the seal and turning the tool, the seal threads itself on and up the arm. Withdrawing the tool with the threaded seal on it from the housing thus removes the seal. A further embodiment combines with the foregoing a tamping member which projects from the other end of the handle means. The tamper, with its tip, aids in inserting a fresh seal in the housing.

Abstract: A tool for use as a special wrench, flywheel puller, valve remover, and valve and valve seat grinder. The tool includes two rectangular bars of steel which may be bolted in one of two positions to either provide an extension handle when the tool is used as a special wrench or to provide a double thickness of steel when the tool is used as a flywheel puller. One of the bars carries a pair of angle iron sections which define therewith a C-shaped clamp, and a threaded bolt protrudes through one of the angle sections for compressing a valve spring when using the tool for removing a valve. The threaded bolt also includes a handle for turning the same which carries a rubber disc which may be removed and chucked in a speed drill to grind a valve or valve seat.

Abstract: A pulling tool for extracting bushings, bearings or similar devices from a blind hole consists of first and second pulling members and a drive member. The pulling members are inserted into a central recess of a bushing or bearing, and a threaded shank portion of the drive member is inserted into an axial opening between the pulling members, engaging threaded inner surfaces of the pulling members and moving the pulling members apart to cause lip portions at the inner ends of the pulling members to be driven behind the bottom edge of the bushing or bearing. As the drive member is turned, the pulling members back up onto the drive member, carrying with them the bushing or bearing. One of the pulling members has a recess on a side surface of its outer end to receive a tool for preventing rotation of the pulling members relative to the drive member when the pulling tool is used to remove a bearing.

Abstract: A tool is disclosed for the extraction of broadhead and field point arrowheads from objects in which they are embedded by removing the shaft from the arrowheads, securing the extractor tool directly onto an embedded arrowhead, and applying pressure so as to draw the arrowhead directly out of the object in which it is embedded.
