Abstract

A tool (68) for removing a shim (52) a dovetail (38) of a fan blade (26) for a turbine engine rotor includes a clip (70) and a handle (94). The clip (70) includes a release edge (88) configured to engage a flared lip (66) of a dovetail shim (52). The handle (94) extends from the clip (70) and contacts the exterior surface of the shim. When the handle (94) and the clip (70) are rotated about a longitudinal axis (96) of the handle, the release edge (88) separates the flared lip (66) of the shim (52) from the dovetail (38) and the handle (94) applies a downward force to easily remove the shim (52) from the dovetail (38).
