Halliburton Pulling Tool
Page 1 of 3

Design Overview
This Halliburton RJ Pulling Tool is a shear-up to release pulling tool that will engage and
pull various subsurface wireline-operated devices which are equipped with long external
fishing necks from the tubing. The design permits continuous downward jarring and consid-
erable upward jarring, but can be released only by upward jarring.

Note This Halliburton RJ Pulling Tool is designed to retrieve various subsurface wireline-
operated devices from the tubing, not from a landing nipple.

Design Principle
This Halliburton RJ Pulling Tool is attached to a standard wireline tool string and lowered
into the well. Upon contact with the subsurface flow control, the lower portion of the pulling
tool cylinder passes over the fish neck or pulling flange of the subsurface flow control. The
fish neck or pulling flange force the dogs of the pulling tool out, then the dog springs cause
the dogs to snap in to engage the fish neck or pulling flange. Upward jarring is used to
retrieve the subsurface flow control from the well.

The shear pin will withstand considerable upward jarring before shearing. When sheared,
the cylinder spring force plus the upward jar action acts between the sub and the cylinder of
the pulling tool to move the core up. This moves the dogs up against the dog springs. As the
dogs move up, their tapered upper ends move into the cylinder. The moving of the dogs into
the cylinder and the force of the cylinder spring causes the dogs to release their grip on the
fish neck or pulling flange.

Note Releasing tool 40RB27 is available to manually release the pulling tool from a lock
mandrel.

Disassembly Instructions
1. Place the pulling tool in a vise, gripping on the cylinder (7).
2. Remove the shear pin (6) or its remnants from the pulling tool.
3. Remove the set screw (1) from the sub weldment (2).
4. There are two holes in the core (4) at 90o from each other. With the shear pin (6) sheared
or removed, the spring (3) forces the core and sub weldment (2) up in respect to the cyl-
inder (7). Rotate the sub weldment and the core approximately 90o so that the lower hole
in the core aligns with the holes in the cylinder. Insert a punch into this hole to serve as
backup. Remove the sub weldment from the core.

CAUTION The sub weldment (2) will have a spring force against it when removed from the core (4).

5. Remove the spring (3) from the core (4).

6. Remove the shear pin cap (5) from the cylinder (7).
7. Remove the core (4) through the lower end of the cylinder (7).
8. The dogs (10) should stay in place when the core (4) is removed due to spring force.
Remove the dogs (10) by pressing up on each dog.
9. Remove the washer (9) from inside the cylinder (7).
10. Remove the dog spring (8) from inside the cylinder (7).
11. Clean and inspect all the parts for wear and damage.

Reassembly Instructions
1. Place the cylinder (7) vertically in a vise, with the lower end looking up.
2. Insert the dog spring (8) and the washer (9) into the cylinder (7).
3. Press the dogs (10) up against the washer (9) and insert the dogs into the windows in the
cylinder (7). The dog spring (8) compression should hold the dogs in their slots.
4. Carefully insert the threaded end of the core (4) through the lower end of the cylinder
(7). Align the lower hole in the core with the shear pin (6) hole in the cylinder and insert
a punch.
5. Place the cylinder (7) and its associated parts horizontally in the vise, gripping on the
cylinder.
6. Place the shear pin cap (5) and the spring (3) over the exposed end of the core (4)

7. Install the sub weldment (2) over the core (4), compress the spring (3) and make up the
sub weldment onto the core.
8. Install the set screw (1) into the sub weldment (2) and onto the core (4).
9. Remove the punch and rotate the sub weldment (2) and the core (4) approximately 90o.
10. Rotate the shear pin cap (5) to align the holes in the cap with the shear pin holes in the
cylinder (7).
11. Compress the pulling tool spring (3) using a vise or other means, until the upper shear
pin hole in the core (4) aligns with the shear pin holes in the cylinder (7).
12. Insert the shear pin (6) through the cylinder (7) and the core (4).

Note Ensure that the ends of the shear pin (6) do not project beyond the OD of the cylin-
der (7).

13. Rotate the shear pin cap (5) approximately 90o to retain the shear pin (6).

Repinning Instructions
1. Rotate the shear pin cap (5) until the opening is aligned with the shear pin (6). The ends
of the shear pin should fall free.
2. Compress the pulling tool using a vise or other means, until the remaining portion of the
shear pin (6) is aligned with the shear pin holes in the cylinder (7).
3. Insert a new shear pin (6) into the cylinder (7) and the core (4). This expends the remain-
ing portion of the old shear pin.

Note Ensure that the ends of the shear pin (6) do not project beyond the OD of the
cylinder (7).

4. Rotate the shear pin cap (5) approximately 90o to retain the shear pin (6).

Note A repinning tool is available which compresses the pulling tool for repinning.
