ABSTRACT:
A tool for removing balance weights attached to the head platform of the blades of a turbine comprises a jointed arm which can be introduced through the exhaust nozzle of the turbine without any disassembly, the arm having a handle portion which is held by the operator carrying out the removal operation, and a distal part which is steerable by movements imparted to the handle portion by the operator, the distal part being dislocatable and articulated with respect to said handle portion and ending in a claw adapted to grip the balance weight and to unseat it without letting it go in response to appropriate movements of the handle portion.
