ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a tool for installing a restrictor plate 14 in a shock strut cylinder 10. It includes a first tool member 12 having an elongated handle 24 with proximal 22 and distal 38 ends and a longitudinal axis. The distal end 38 includes a controllable attachment 25 for providing an axially-centered locking grasp on a restrictor plate 14. A first control 36 which is operable by a user from the proximal end 22 controls the attachment 25. The distal end 38 includes a pivoting head 40 for movement of the restrictor plate 14 between a first position which is in axial alignment with the handle 24 and a second position which is transverse to the axis of the handle 24. A second control 20 is operable by a user from the proximal end 22 to control the position of the pivot head 40. A second tool member 28 has a hollow elongated handle 32 with proximal 114 and distal 116 ends and is sized to axially telescope over the elongated handle 24 of the first tool member 12. The distal end 116 includes a cage assembly 34 for holding and positioning a retaining nut 30. The second tool member 28 includes a centering assembly 126, 128 which axially centers the tool member 28 within the shock strut cylinder 10 and includes bearings 136 which facilitate axial rotation of the hollow elongated handle 30 to the cage assembly 34, and the retaining nut 30 relative to the first tool member 12 and the shock strut cylinder 10.
