Abstract
An assembly tool for changing bushings for a lower arm includes a bushing connecting part into which a bushing is inserted and a main shaft inserted into components. A main adapter assembling unit supports or presses the bushing and a detachment adapter receives the bushing when detaching the bushing. A mounting adapter supports a first end of the bushing when mounting the bushing and a mounting guide ring guides an insertion depth of the bushing when mounting the bushing so that components used to change the bushings may be assembled in accordance with a shape of a lower arm on which the bushing is to be mounted.
Claims19
An assembly tool for changing bushings for a lower arm, comprising:
- a bushing connecting part formed on a lower arm and having a connecting aperture into which a bushing is inserted;
- a main shaft having a threaded portion formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof and configured to be inserted into a center aperture of the bushing;
- a main adapter assembling unit into which the main shaft is inserted, the main adapter assembling unit being coupled by thread engagement to the main shaft to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the main shaft and configured to support a first end of the bushing to prevent the bushing from swaying;
- a first detachment adapter into which the main shaft is inserted so that the first detachment adapter receives a first end of the main adapter assembling unit, the first detachment adapter being configured to receive the bushing that moves in a direction in which the bushing is detached as the main shaft rotates;
- and
- a second detachment adapter into which the main shaft is inserted, the second detachment adapter being configured to press the bushing to move the bushing in the direction in which the bushing is detached as the main shaft rotates.
An assembly tool for changing bushings for a lower arm comprising:
- a bushing connecting part formed on a lower arm and including a connecting aperture to which a bushing is connected;
- a main shaft having a threaded portion formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof and configured to be inserted into a center aperture of the bushing;
- a main adapter assembling unit into which the main shaft is inserted to couple the main adapter assembling unit to the main shaft by thread engagement for the main adapter assembling unit to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the main shaft, the main adapter assembling unit being configured to support or press a first end of the bushing;
- and
- a mounting adapter into which the main shaft is inserted, the mounting adapter being configured to support or press a second end of the bushing to move the bushing in a direction in which the bushing is mounted as the main shaft rotates,
- wherein a marking jig including a marking groove is detachably mounted on the bushing to form a marking on the bushing through the marking groove to be matched with a directional marking formed on the bushing connecting part.
