Abstract
An apparatus for removing a lock bolt collar from an installed lock bolt extending from a joint surface. The apparatus has an outer sleeve with a tubular conduit, and a joint engagement surface for contacting a surface of said joint. The apparatus also has an inner sleeve disposed within the tubular conduit of the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has teeth for gripping and pulling the lock bolt collar. When the inner sleeve is pulled into the outer sleeve, a ridge disposed on an exterior surface of the inner sleeve pushes the teeth in a radially inward direction to grip and pull the lock bolt collar off the lock bolt.
