Abstract:
A method of removing a bucket from a turbomachine rotor wheel includes exposing a base portion of the bucket, positioning a pulling device radially outwardly of the base portion, connecting the base portion of the bucket to the pulling device through a linking rod, exerting an axially outwardly directed force on the linking rod through the pulling device, and removing the base portion from the rotor wheel.

Abstract:
A table for use in working on a circularly arcuate component is disclosed. The table includes a base frame and a first work surface mounted to the base frame, the first work surface including at least one linearly slidable work section separable from a remaining portion of the first work surface. A fastener for holding a circularly arcuate component relative to the at least one linearly slidable work section is provided. A mount for mounting a machining tool for machining the circularly arcuate component or a circular component may also be provided.
