To remove a field structure from within a casing, the casing is positioned with one end thereof against an annular shoulder within an opening of a support fixture engaged with a press element. A removal fixture is inserted into the opposite end of the casing and is engaged by a second press element which is moved toward the first to eject the field structure from within the casing. The removal fixture includes a pair of diametrically opposed wall portions which have side edges spaced to provide slots for clearance of brush rack assemblies and the terminal end portions of the wall portions are of reduced thickness for clearance of field windings and associated components. The support fixture may be in the form of a plate or may be in the form of a tubular member which receives the field structure and which may be positionable above the casing. To install a field structure within a casing, the casing is again engaged with a support fixture position and a field structure is inserted into the opposite end of the casing and is engaged by an installation fixture which is driven by a press element until a stop surface on the installation fixture engages one end of the casing, positioning the field structure at the desired position within the casing.
