Abstract
A tool includes a first output from a gear system, the first output along a first axis and a second output from the gear system, the second output along a second axis. A first torque limiter is attached to the first output along the first axis and a second torque limiter is attached to the second output along the second axis. A first tool bit is attached to the first torque limiter along the first axis and a second tool bit attached to the second torque limiter along the second axis.
Claims19
A tool for installing and removing a module assembly, wherein the module assembly has a handle, the tool comprising:
- a gear system;
- an input to the gear system;
- a first output from the gear system, the first output along a first axis;
- a second output from the gear system, the second output along a second axis;
- a first torque limiter attached to the first output along the first axis;
- a second torque limiter attached to the second output along the second axis;
- a first tool bit attached to the first torque limiter along the first axis;
- a second tool bit attached to the second torque limiter along the second axis;
- and
- an index configured to engage the handle of the module assembly to align the first output and the second output relative to the module assembly.
A tool for installing and removing a module assembly, comprising:
- a housing comprising an index that is received onto a handle of the module assembly;
- a gear system contained within the housing;
- an input to the gear system;
- a first output from the gear system, the first output along a first axis;
- a second output from the gear system, the second output along a second axis, the second axis parallel to the first axis;
- a first torque limiter attached to the first output along the first axis;
- a second torque limiter attached to the second output along the second axis;
- a first tool bit attached to the first torque limiter along the first axis;
- and
- a second tool bit attached to the second torque limiter along the second axis, wherein the index is configured to position the first output and the second output relative to the module assembly.
