Abstract
An apparatus for removing a press-fit pin from a bore in an article, such as a press-fit pin in aligned bores of a cam dog for a railway brake apparatus. The apparatus has a pair of spaced jaws, moveable towards each other, one of the jaws having a peg extending outwardly therefrom and towards the other jaw, while the other jaw preferably has a groove in the end. Upon placement of an article on one jaw, and movement of the jaws together, the peg forces at least a portion of the press-fit pin from the bore and into the groove. The press-fit pin can then be grasped at the exposed portion and removed from the bore.
