Disassembling tool for process cartridge

A disassembling tool for pushing a first and second coupling member out of a process cartridge detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus main body, the process cartridge having an electrophotographic photosensitive member, process means for acting on the electrophotographic photosensitive member, a first frame, a second frame, the first coupling member provided on one end side of the electrophotographic photosensitive member in a lengthwise direction thereof for rotatably coupling the first frame and the second frame together, and the second coupling member provided on the other end side of the electrophotographic photosensitive member in the lengthwise direction thereof for rotatably coupling the first frame and the second frame together, said disassembling tool comprising:

• a first base body;
• a first engagement portion provided on said first base body and adapted to be engaged with the process cartridge to thereby position the process cartridge when said disassembling tool is mounted on the process cartridge;
• a first pushing-out portion provided for movement relative to said first base body for pushing out the first coupling member;
• a second base body;
• a second engagement portion provided on said second base body and adapted to be engaged with the process cartridge to thereby position the process cartridge when said disassembling tool is mounted on the process cartridge;
• and
• a second pushing-out portion provided for movement relative to said second base body for pushing out the second coupling member;
• said first engagement portion being provided at a location opposed to said first pushing-out portion in a movement direction in which said first pushing-out portion is moved, and said second engagement portion being provided at a location opposed to said second pushing-out portion in a movement direction in which said second pushing-out portion is moved.
