ABSTRACT:
A packing extractor tool (10 ) for removing packing (27) from a valve assembly (20), is described. The extractor tool is comprised of an arcuate sidewall (11) having an opening (17) that enables the extractor tool to be mounted around a valve stem (25) without removing the handle wheel (37) from the valve stem. One end of the sidewall of the extractor tool is provided with sawblade teeth (13). The other end of the sidewall has a handle (15) that enables the extractor tool to be rotated around the valve stem to that the sawblade teeth can cut into and disintegrate the packing. A distal portion (15B) of the handle can be angled upward which helps a user apply a downward force to the extractor tool so that the sawblade teeth can penetrate into and disintegrate the packing.
