ABSTRACT

A circlip tool includes a first actuation lever, a second actuation lever, a
first tip, and a second tip. The first tip and the second tip are each
configured for insertion into one installation hole in a circlip. The first
tip is rigidly secured in the first actuation lever, and the first actuation
lever and the second actuation lever are borne so as to be pivotable relative
to one another. The circlip tool also includes a cam gear, which has a cam
borne so as to be rotatable relative to the first actuation lever and a
follower borne so as to be displaceable relative to the first actuation lever.
The second tip is borne so as to be displaceable relative to the first
actuation lever and is kinematically coupled to the follower. The second
actuation lever is connected to the cam in a rotationally engaged manner.
