ABSTRACT:
The special retrieval tool has a cylindrical cupped head hinged on a lateral axis to the outer end of an extensible handle for reaching the most remote tappet followers inwardly of the crankcase through the camshaft end bearing openings, after the removal of the camshaft end bearing assembly therefrom. The cylindrical cupped head is turned to an open position at right angles to the handle to facilitate holding the open end under the desired follower to receive it when released from its bushing. A rod connected at its outer end to a plate mounted on the side of said cupped head eccentrically of said lateral axis has its inner end passed through a screw clamp so as to hold it after turning the cupped head to closed cup position in substantially parallel alignment with said handle for easy and safe withdrawal of the tool from the crankcase without danger of accidentally dropping the follower out of the cupped head into the crankcase.
