1. A wireline expansion tool for setting of a completion tubular component, the wireline expansion tool having an axial extension and comprising:
an electric motor connectable with and powered through a wireline,
an axial force generator driven directly or indirectly by the electric motor for providing a movement of at least a portion of the axial force generator along the axial extension,
a radial expansion tool section connected with the axial force generator, and
a completion tubular component arranged at least partly around at least part of the radial expansion tool section for expanding at least part of the completion tubular component into abutment with a borehole or a well tubular metal structure, the completion tubular component being configured to allow fluid communication from one end to the other when the radial expansion tool section is removed after expansion of the completion tubular component,
wherein the radial expansion tool section comprises a first element that is mechanically connected with the portion of the axial force generator where the axial movement of the portion of the axial force generator along the axial extension is configured to move the first element along the axial extension, and a support structure connected with the first element, the support structure supporting the completion tubular component during expansion or uncoiling of the completion tubular component while the portion of the axial force generator and the first element move along the axial extension, and the first element being connected with the support structure for moving the support structure at least partly radially outwards for simultaneous expanding the completion tubular component.
