Tool and method for inserting and removing components

A system comprising:

• a component, wherein the component is a single piece and comprises an inner hole;
• a component mount to receive the component;
• and
• a tool for inserting and removing the component into or from the component mount, wherein the component includes the inner hole extending from a first side of the component to an opposed second side of the component, the tool comprising:
• a spindle;
• a first sleeve body with a first ramp-form outer circumferential surface for resting against the component in a clearance-free and centred manner, a first cylindrical outer circumferential surface that axially adjoins and directly continues without a step to said first ramp-form outer circumferential surface, and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided;
• a second sleeve body with a second ramp-form outer circumferential surface for resting against the component in a clearance-free and centred manner, a second cylindrical outer circumferential surface that axially adjoins and directly continues without a step to said second ramp-form outer circumferential surface, and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided;
• a first pressure body which can be coupled to the first sleeve body to axially apply pressure thereto;
• a second pressure body which can be coupled to the second sleeve body to axially apply pressure thereto;
• and
• a striking device including an impact component configured for being coupled to the spindle and a striking body which is movable against an impact body of the impact component such that a force is applied axially to the spindle to move the component out of or into the component mount,
• wherein, with the spindle configured to extend through the through-holes of the first and second sleeve bodies and the first ramp-form outer circumferential surface and the second ramp-form outer circumferential surface face each other, the ramp-form outer circumferential surfaces respectively taper along the respective sleeve centre axis such that the first and second ramp-form surfaces are configured for being introduced in part into the inner hole of the component from the first and second sides
• wherein the through-hole of the first sleeve body includes a cylindrical portion and a conical portion that axially adjoins the cylindrical portion and widens the internal diameter of the respective through-hole, and wherein the through-hole of the second sleeve body includes a cylindrical portion and a conical portion that axially adjoins the cylindrical portion and widens an internal diameter of the respective through-hole, and
• wherein the first sleeve body and the second sleeve body at least partly extend axially into the inner hole of the component and thereby are automatically centered with respect to the inner hole of the component due to the rotational symmetries of the first ramp-form outer circumferential surface of the first sleeve body and of the second ramp-form outer circumferential surface of the second sleeve body relative to the respective sleeve center axis.
