Tool system for mounting an elastic sleeve and method

A method for mounting an elastic sleeve, comprising:

• providing a holdout tube supporting the elastic sleeve prior to and during mounting of the elastic sleeve, the holdout tube having a longitudinal axis;
• positioning the elastic sleeve in an expanded state around the holdout tube;
• mounting an interface element at least partly encompassing the holdout tube, the interface element is movable along the longitudinal axis;
• engaging an actuation lever with the holdout tube at a fulcrum region of the actuation lever, the actuation lever has a pair of load arms partly encompassing the holdout tube, a load region is arranged at a peripheral end of each of the load arms, the fulcrum region is located between the load regions and an effort region of the actuation lever;
• and
• pivoting the actuation lever to actuate the interface element by pressing the load regions of the actuation lever against the interface element and moving the interface element along the longitudinal axis, the interface element transfers pressure onto the elastic sleeve to push the elastic sleeve off the holdout tube.
