Content

FIG. 74 illustrates one example of a puller 1004. In one embodiment, the puller 1004 includes an elongated body 1022 and a second handle 1024. The elongated body 1022 may have a circular cross section and have a longitudinal axis that is coaxial with an opening 1026 that passes through the elongated body 1022 from a proximal end 1028 to a distal end 1030. The opening 1026 is sized, at least on the proximal end 1028, to allow the puller 1004 to accept the collar 908. In one embodiment, the opening 1026 has a larger diameter on the proximal end 1028 of the puller 1004 than at, or near, the distal end 1030 of the puller 1004. In certain embodiments, a diameter of the opening 1026 at the distal end 1030 is smaller than a diameter of the second section 920 of the shaft 902 such that the distal end 1030 can contact the one or more lips 928 but does not slide past the one or more lips 928 along the shaft 902.
