Abstract
A multi-function hydraulic tool especially intended for use in automobile servicing operations comprises a hydraulic cylinder housing a piston. At least one arm is secured to the outside of the cylinder and projects axially therefrom. A seating is secured to the arm forwardly of the open end of the cylinder so as to support one member when axial force is applied by the piston to a different cooperating member so as to cause relative movement of such members. The tool can be used for a variety of purposes, for example, for removing a bearing from a shaft and its arm is usefully releasably secured to the cylinder.
