Abstract
A limited clearance hydraulic tool provides torque to an associated threaded fastener assembly. The limited clearance hydraulic tool includes a piston and a rachet wheel The limited clearance hydraulic tool also includes a drive plate and a piston rod extending between the drive plate and the piston. The limited clearance hydraulic tool further includes a connection pin that defines a first point of contact between the piston rod and the drive plate and continuously connects the piston rod and the drive plate together to always drive and retract the drive plate. Additionally, the limited clearance hydraulic tool includes a push plate that defines a second point of contact between the piston rod and the drive plate. The push plate is separate and unique from the first point of contact. The push plate selectively connects the piston rod and the drive plate together for driving the drive plate.
