Seat puller system, reciprocating pump valve seat puller assembly, process, and method of use

A valve seat puller with a ratcheting expander tool, comprising:

• a stem;
• the stem extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the stem having a threading;
• an expander;
• the expander extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the expander having a flange;
• the expander having threads;
• the expander having a bevel feature;
• the expander having a disengaged position;
• wherein the disengaged position is when the expander is disengaged from the jaw assembly;
• the expander having an engaged position;
• wherein the engaged position is when the expander is engaged with the jaw assembly;
• a jaw assembly;
• the jaw assembly extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the jaw assembly having a jaw segment;
• the jaw assembly having a first o-ring;
• the jaw assembly having an elastomer band;
• a lower retaining nut;
• the lower retaining nut extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the lower retaining nut having a bevel;
• the lower retaining nut having threads;
• an expander rotating tool;
• the expander rotating tool having a ratchet;
• the ratchet extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the ratchet having a handle;
• the ratchet having a ratchet feature;
• the expander rotating tool having a tube;
• the tube extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the tube having a ratchet head;
• the tube having a socket;
• wherein the expander is rotated and forced to travel down the stem;
• wherein the expander is forced to travel down the stem by the rotation of the expander rotating tool;
• wherein continued rotation of the expander as it travels down the stem causes the expansion of the jaw segments due to downward force on the jaw expander;
• wherein the lower shoulder of the jaw segments lock into place due to the downward force on the jaw expander.

A method of using a reciprocating pump valve seat puller assembly, comprising the steps:

• providing a seat puller assembly;
• wherein the seat puller assembly includes a stem, an expander, a jaw assembly, and a lower retaining nut;
• the stem extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the stem having a threading;
• the stem having a through hole;
• the stem having a second hole;
• the expander extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the expander having a handle;
• the expander having a flange;
• the expander having threads;
• the expander having a bevel feature;
• the expander having a disengaged position;
• wherein the disengaged position is when the expander is disengaged from the jaw assembly;
• the expander having an engaged position;
• wherein the engaged position is when the expander is engaged with the jaw assembly;
• the jaw assembly extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the jaw assembly having a jaw segment;
• the jaw assembly having a first o-ring;
• the jaw assembly having a second o-ring;
• the jaw assembly having an elastomer band;
• the lower retaining nut extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the lower retaining nut having a bevel;
• the lower retaining nut having threads;
• the lower retaining nut having a roll pin hole;
• providing an expander rotating tool;
• the expander rotating tool having a ratchet;
• the ratchet extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the ratchet having a handle;
• the ratchet having a ratchet feature;
• the ratchet having a ratchet adjustment feature;
• the expander rotating tool having a tube;
• the tube extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the tube having a ratchet head;
• the tube having a socket;
• the tube having a reversible adjustment feature;
• the tube having an extension feature;
• placing the expander tool on the stem of the seat puller assembly;
• rotating the expander tool;
• wherein the expander is rotated and forced to travel down the stem;
• wherein the expander is forced to travel down the stem by the rotation of the expander rotating tool;
• wherein continued rotation of the expander as it travels down the stem causes the expansion of the jaw segments due to downward force on the jaw expander;
• wherein the lower shoulder of the jaw segments lock into place due to the downward force on the jaw expander;
• engaging the seat puller for operation.
