TOOL BUSHING REPLACEMENT
1. TOOL BUSHING REMOVAL
The tool bushings can be removed with either a hydraulic press or a carbon arc.
CARBON ARC METHOD
Drive out lock pin on lower tool bushing.
NOTE:
The lock pin has thread adhesive applied at
assembly. Heat the pin before attempting to drive
it out.
Upper and lower tool bushings can be cut out with carbon arc (t12) or oxygen and
acetylene (t13). Start cutting in areas ‘1’ and ‘2’ (away from the bushing retaining pin
bore (
19
) first, and then go to areas ‘3’ and ‘4’. Care should be given not to damage the
bushing retaining pin bore (
19
).
Use either carbon arc (t12) or cutting torch
(t13) to cut bushing (G).
Exercise care when cutting to avoid damaging the tool holder. If the tool holder bore is
cut accidentally, grind the surface smooth to remove sharp edges and high spots.
