Abstract

See full text

A device is disclosed for stripping an outer material from a transmission carrier that has an end block defining a passageway therethrough for positioning the transmission carrier therein. Grip members are pivotally attached to the end block and movable between an open position and a cutting position. In one embodiment, an alignment mechanism is attached to at least one of the grip members for holding the outer material of the transmission carrier at a distal point spaced from the end block with a predetermined alignment and/or clamping force to inhibit buckling of the outer material during removal. A cutting mechanism associated with the end block proximate to the passageway is actuated by pivoting the grip members to a cutting position for removal of the outer material. Another variation includes a fracture mechanism that induces material fracture of the outer material during pivoting of the grip members.
