Tool kit for vehicles
A tool kit for vehicles, for dismounting, mounting and/or separating components associated with transmission assemblies and/or suspension assemblies. The tool kit includes a tool yoke including an elongated body, a threaded central through hole and a slit arranged on each side of the central through hole. Each slit is arranged to receive at least one threaded jaw fastener to extend there through. Further, the tool kit includes a pair of jaw units attachable to the tool yoke and arranged to engage one of the components in order to perform an operation thereon. The jaw units are securable to the tool yoke at different positions along the tool yoke by the jaw fasteners.
1. A tool kit for vehicles for dismounting, mounting or separating components associated with transmission assemblies or suspension assemblies, comprising:
a tool yoke including:
an elongated body extending along a first axis,
a central through hole having a hole axis perpendicular to said first axis, wherein said central through hole is threaded, and
two slits, one slit arranged on each side of said central through hole, each slit being enclosed within the elongated body and having a main extension along said first axis, wherein each of said slits is arranged to receive at least one threaded jaw fastener extending therethrough; and
a pair of jaw units attachable to said tool yoke by means of said threaded jaw fasteners extending through the slits, said jaw units being securable to the tool yoke at different positions along the first axis.
2. The tool kit according to claim 1 , wherein said tool yoke further includes:
a pair of threaded securing holes arranged on a flank surface of each side of the tool yoke, said threaded securing holes having a central axis parallel to said first axis; and
wherein each of said threaded securing holes is arranged to receive a correspondingly threaded securing fastener having a bottom surface configured to abut against said jaw fastener within said slit, in order to block said jaw units from moving away from each other during operation of the tool kit.
3. The tool kit according to claim 1 , wherein said tool yoke further includes a recessed groove arranged on a bottom surface which is facing said jaw units when the jaw units are attached to the tool yoke, and wherein each of said jaw units comprises at least one protruding guide portion insertable into the recessed groove, for allowing a non-rotational, sliding movement of the jaw units along the tool yoke.
4. The tool kit according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pair of threaded jaw fasteners arrangeable to extend through each slit so to engage correspondingly threaded openings in each jaw unit;
a single washer for each pair of threaded jaw fasteners for supporting a pair of threaded jaw fastener heads during a pulling operation.
5. The tool kit according to claim 1 , further comprising a sleeve having an outer threading and being configured to engage and be mounted in the threaded central through hole in order to shield the threads during operation of the tool kit.
6. The tool kit according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of jaw units are each formed as an L- or T-shaped structure having a stem section and a foot section, each stem section comprising at least one threaded bore hole formed on a top surface of the stem section and extending along a main extension axis of the stem section; and
wherein the extension axis of the stem sections is parallel to the central axis of the central through hole when the jaw units are attached to the tool yoke.
