Abstract:
A method of decoupling a cylinder from a jaw in a demolition tool is disclosed. The jaw may have spaced apart first and second lugs. The method may include unlocking a first end of a pin from a first lug. The pin may have a groove adjacent the first end. The method may include rotating the first and second lugs in a first direction (A) from a first lug position to a second lug position wherein the pin slides through the first and second lugs and the first end moves from the first lug to the second lug to uncouple the cylinder from the jaw. The method may also include engaging a locking element biasingly supported on the second lug into the groove to retain the pin at the second lug. Further, the method may include moving the cylinder from between the spaced apart first and second lugs.
