Abstract:
A tool for releasing a retention member interposed between a male component of a fuel regulator and a female component of a fuel damper cooperatively receiving the male member, the retention member contiguously engaging one of the male and female components and exerting a retaining force opposing displacement of a first one of the male and female components along a first axis relative to a second one of the male and female components, the tool comprising:a set of jaws gripping the first one of the male and female components; and a set of release members moving parallel to the axis between a first position and a second position, each one of the set of release members being supported for the parallel movement relative to a corresponding one of the set of jaws, each one of the set of release members being interposed, in the second position, between and contiguous with the retention member and the second one of the male and female components to exert a force against the retaining force so that the retention member is spaced from the second one of the male and female components to permit separation of the components.
