ABSTRACT:
Seal removal and installation tools for removing and installing seals from difficult to access locations. The seal removal tool is capable of gripping the seal without passing between the seal and the surface with which it is in sealing engagement. The seal installation tool is capable of simultaneously installing two seals on opposite ends of a shaft. The seal installation tool precisely aligns the seals and the shaft and positively locates the seal in on the shaft to minimize the chance of damaging the seal. The seal installer also gradually expands the seal to the diameter of the shaft so that stresses in the seal are substantially uniform during installation.
