Apparatus and method for removing the most difficult-to-remove plumbing valve cartridges from plumbing conduits. The apparatus includes an elongated, externally threaded shaft adapted to reach into a plumbing conduit to secure the elongated shaft to an internally threaded portion of the valve cartridge. A slide hammer that is easily and quickly movable, manually, that surrounds the elongated shaft at a centrally disposed aperture exerts longitudinal force on the shaft for freeing and removing the valve cartridge from the plumbing cartridge. In another embodiment, the elongated shaft also includes second, larger diameter external threads for removing the most difficult-to-remove valve cartridges when the longitudinal force exerted on the valve cartridge removes the internal valve cartridge structure, leaving a tubular outer cartridge casing that has bonded to the plumbing conduit. For removal of the tubular outer cartridge casing, after separation of the internal valve cartridge structure, a tapping device capable of forming internal threads on a reduced diameter portion of the cartridge casing cuts to internal threads on the bonded cartridge casing.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for greasing an article such as a wheel bearing in a common vice including a housing defining an internal grease chamber including a first open end; a dished piston slideably insertable into said chamber, including a threaded aperture; a stem threadably mounted in the piston aperture; and a tapered spool compression application member disposed over the stem for forcing the piston against the grease to cause grease to pass through the piston and into the bearing.

A support device for supporting a longitudinal member, such as a threaded rod, in a desired position with respect to the support device includes a housing adapted to receive the threaded rod, transversely within a housing aperture, and a slide axle, slideably received axially within the housing. The slide axle receives the threaded rod and is slidable within the housing to (1) a first position frictionally engaging the rod and (2) a second position disengaged from the rod so that the rod can be relatively freely moved with respect to the slide axle. The rod supporting device includes a tightening member or lock nut to secure the slide axle in a locked position whereby the rod is tightly held against a housing bearing wall defining a portion of the housing aperture. The housing bearing wall is relatively smooth so that the threaded rod is tightly held in locked position by the lock nut, while minimizing axial movement of the rod with respect to the housing.

Apparatus and method are disclosed for removing or inserting a bushing or bearing. The apparatus of the present invention includes an elongated bushing or bearing drive shaft; an adjustable sized mandrel which includes a plurality of bushing or bearing drive shoulders; a mandrel spreader for adjusting the mandrel drive shoulders to a predetermined dimension; and a depth stop sleeve adjustably mounted on the elongated drive shaft for determining the depth to which the bushing or bearing can be inserted in any given device. The depth stop sleeve is used only for insertion and not for removal.

A tool for reshaping or expanding metal tubular material includes an expandable mandrel having a plurality of duplicate spreader segments held in a cluster by an elastic O-ring about a wedge-shaped cam, each of the segments including an external, curved wall having a curvature corresponding to a curvature of an external curved wall in every other segment such that when all segments are equally spaced a predetermined amount, they form a cylinder having gaps between adjacent spreader segments for contact against an internal surface of the tubular material for reshaping or expanding said tubular material. The wedge-shaped cam includes a plurality of external faces corresponding to a number of internal spreader segment faces sloped to converge toward a front, mandrel-insertion or forward end of the cam and shaped complementary to the shape of the internal spreader segment faces for sliding engagement of the segments over an adjacent external face of the cam. These segments are kept axially aligned during expansion to maintain a substantially uniform mandrel cross-section during tubular stock expansion.

A tool is provided for inserting bearings comprising a plurality of expandable segments, a shaft having a cam means attached thereto said cam means including means for expanding each of said expandable segments radially outwardly from said shaft, wherein the expandable segments have at least one flange portion for abutting a bearing race and driving the bearing race into position such that expansion of the expandable segments increases the distance of said flange portion of each expandable segment radially outwardly from said shaft and adapts said flange portions for abutting engagement with various diameter bearing races. In this manner, a single tool can drive a number of different diameter bearing races without removing and reattaching parts.
