If time is precious and you are in the business of reducing maintenance time and costs, the Hanley Smith 'BushOut' and 'BushBaby' will be of interest to you.
One of the problems of aircraft landing gear maintenance and overhaul, which can be particularly difficult and costly in terms of component damage, is the removal of bushes and liners. To overcome this problem we have developed unique extraction systems, which quickly and cleanly withdraw interference fit components, without damage to either component or housing.
Extracts most bushes and liners from 1.7" (45mm) to 4" (100mm) diameter. The extraction is performed by either a press, a hydraulic ram or pneumatic gun.
Removes back to back bushes between 0.25" (6.4mm) and 2.14" (54mm). This range is catered for in our 747 aircraft flap carriage kit. Extraction is performed by injecting high pressure water through our specially designed lances.
