The slide hammer kit is used to remove pivot pins that must
be extracted, i.e. cannot be ‘knocked through’. The purpose
of this description is to explain how the kit and the various
components are used to remove the pivot pins.
The adaptors A that form part of the kit have a screwed
thread at each end. One of the threads will always be M20
size, this is to accommodate the end stops, items B and C.
The other end of the adaptor will have varying thread sizes
to suit the different size of threads in the pivot pins.
1
Prepare the pivot pin, for instance, if fitted, remove the
pivot pin retaining bolt.
2
Determine the thread size of the pivot pin and then fit the
appropriate adaptor A as shown. Use the spanner flats D
to securely fit the adaptor.
3
Fit an end stop B onto the other end of the adaptor (M20
thread size), make sure that the adaptor threads are fully
engaged.
4
Fit the ‘slide bar’ E into the end stop. Again make sure
that the threads are fully engaged.
5
Fit the ‘slide hammer’, item F, onto the slide bar as
shown.
6
Finally, fit another end stop, item C, at the end of the
slide bar, as shown. The slide hammer kit is now ready
to use.
7
To extract the pivot pin, slide the hammer along the bar
until it contacts end stop C. Repeat this step until the
pivot pin is released.
8
To remove the slide hammer kit, reverse the steps
described above.
