Systems, methods, and devices for facilitating removal of hydraulic cylinders from brake systems

Abstract

The disclosed technology relates generally to systems, methods, and devices for facilitating removal of hydraulic cylinders from brake systems. The disclosed technology includes a method for facilitating removal of a hydraulic cylinder from a brake system. The method includes inserting a tool, at least partially, into a plunger aperture of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder, in some examples, can be a hydraulic cylinder of a yaw brake system for a wind turbine. The tool includes an outer perimeter configured to engage an inner surface of the plunger aperture. In some examples, the tool includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to be coupled to a torque device, and the second portion includes the outer perimeter. The method includes applying a torque to the tool to rotate the hydraulic cylinder.
