METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NON-INVASIVE SEPARATION OF COMPONENTS

摘要

A method and system (250) for use in facilitating relative movement between first and second components is provided. A first component engagement assembly (270) is inserted into an opening (252) in the first component. The first component engagement assembly is threadably coupled adjacent to a thrust member (260) such that the thrust member extends through the first component opening. An end (274) of the thrust member extends toward the second component. The first component engagement assembly (270) couples in frictional engagement with an inner surface (249) of the first component opening. When torque is exerted on the thrust member, the thrust member moves relative to the first component engagement assembly to exert, via the end of the thrust member, one of a thrust force and a traction force against the second component to move the second component relative to the first component.
