Abstract

See full text

A tool for replacing a valve seat of a reciprocating pump has a puller shaft connected to a puller head having at least two spring-biased dogs. An operator inserts the puller head into a valve bore and through a valve seat, the dogs retracting as the puller head moves through the valve seat, then snapping back outward. A hydraulic cylinder engages the puller shaft to exert a force on the puller shaft causing the dogs to dislodge the seat. The operator then places a replacement valve seat on a shoulder in the valve bore. The operator attaches an installing head to an installing shaft and inserts the installing head into the valve bore into contact with the replacement valve seat. The hydraulic cylinder applies a force in an opposite direction on the installing shaft to push the replacement valve seat into installed engagement.
