The press tool includes a frame, an abutment part mounted to one end of the frame,
and a lever actuated ram mounted to the other end of the frame. The ram includes
a pair of interchangeable fittings (one for affixing the push nuts and one for
removing the push nuts). Rocker plates pivotally connect the rams to a long lever,
which extends and retracts the ram through a tubular sleeve mounted to the frame.
The assembly fitting includes a magnet that holds a push nut to the ram. When the
lever is depressed, the ram extends and the push nut is pressed axially onto the
axle rod. The removal fitting has a two pronged head. When the lever is depressed,
the prongs deform the push nut flange, which bends back the teeth that secure the
push nut to the axle.
