ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (100) or repairing dented bearing cages (50) comprises: a first contact surface (122) for contacting an outer diameter of the bearing cage (50); a second contact surface (126) for contacting an inner diameter of the bearing cage (50); a first handle (102); a second handle (104) operatively connected to the first handle (102) via a pivot mechanism (106); a retraction element (108) connected to the second contact surface (126); and an adjustment mechanism (116). The retraction element (108) retracts upon movement of the second handle (104) relative to the first handle (102) to move the second contact surface (126) towards the first contact surface (122) so as to impart a force against a dented region of the bearing cage (50) located between the second contact surface (126) and the first contact surface (122). The adjustment mechanism (116) adjusts an initial position of the second contact surface (126) relative to the first contact surface (122), thereby providing adjustable clearance between the second contact surface (126) and the first contact surface (122) for various bearing cage dimensions.
