ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric compressor mount has a hollow convex cylindrical head portion which must be passed upwardly through a substantially smaller diameter circular opening in a support foot portion of the compressor. To facilitate the passage of the mount head portion through the support foot opening a specially designed clamping tool is provided which has an arcuate support portion and a clamping portion that may be pivoted toward and away from a concave side surface of the support portion. With these two tool portions pivoted toward each other they are inserted downwardly through the compressor foot opening, opened, and then clamped exteriorly onto the mount head portion in a manner deforming it to a generally U-shaped configuration as viewed along the axis of the mount. The deformed mount head portion, and the still clamped together tool portions are then pulled upwardly through the compressor foot opening, the free ends of the deformed, generally U-shaped mount head portion being pushed toward one another by side edge portions of the foot opening as the head portion passes upwardly through the opening. After the deformed mount head portion is positioned above the top side of the compressor foot, the tool is released to permit the mount head portion to spring back to its original annular configuration and overlie an annular top side surface portion of the compressor foot.
