An apparatus for the removal of a circular collar swage-mounted on a cylindrical projection, the apparatus comprising:
- a connection member for connecting the apparatus to the cylindrical projection, which cylindrical projection defines a major axis (A-A) of the apparatus when the connection member is connected thereto;
- the connection member axially and upwardly engaging a gripping portion of the cylindrical projection;
- at least one moveable cutting member for selective engagement with the collar after the connection member is connected to the cylindrical projection;
- an opposing member arranged to be mounted within the apparatus opposite the at least one moveable cutting member;
- wherein, relative movement between the connection member and the at least one moveable cutting member and/or the opposing member permits the collar to be centrally located between the at least one moveable cutting member and the opposing member;
- and
- wherein the axially, upwardly engaging of the gripping portion is used to hold the cylindrical projection against movement during the swaging process.
