A method of utilizing a coil injection tool pack, also referred to as coil injection tooling, is disclosed. The method involves placing a tool pack in winding turn receiving relationship with coil winding apparatus having a tool pack nest. The tool pack is moved laterally, relative to the longitudinal extent of the elongate elements, toward the tool pack nest at the winding station. Thereafter, mutual alignment of the tool pack and tool pack nest is assured, and the base of the tool pack is clamped against a tool pack retainer means. Dynamoelectric machine windings are then draped on the tooling pack and subsequently, the tool pack is released and transported to a tool pack nest on a coil injection machine power unit. The tool pack then is clamped on the power unit, a core is placed on the tool pack, and winding turns previously disposed on the tool pack are axially injected into the stator core. In a more preferred approach, the tool pack nest at the coil injection machine power unit is activated by positioning the tool pack at the nest, and then depressing the nest in order to assure mutual alignment of the tool pack and the nest.
