They are not reverse thread. They are however high torque. I'm not sure of the torque for the 773 ( Not sure why they were left out in my "bobcat Loader Technical Service Guide"), but the torque for the 743 is 225-300 ft-lbs. (The 7753 is listed as "220-245 ft-lbs).Good Morning,
I'm in the process of changing a bad wheel bearing and have a question about the sprocket nut in the chain case. Are these reverse threads? Having a hard time getting it to break loose.
Thanks
ThanksI am pretty sure I got it from harbor freight years ago but I have a 3/4 drive torque wrench that is gotta be 42 inches long goes to 600 ft lbs of torque. it might be something to look at, no cheater piece of pipe required. and it has worked perfectly. ( I know it is hard to believe from harbor freight.) down side then you will need 3/4 drive sockets.
Side to side movement is not normal.Guys,
Thanks for you guys help. I was able to get nut loose using a pipe as a cheater bar. I also discovered that the back wheel bearing was bad as well. ( Pretty much non existent) so i pulled the back axle as well. I did an inspection of the left side wheel bearings and they looked okay but i have some side to side movement. Is this normal? Im thinking I need to go ahead and replace those as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks a lot!Side to side movement is not normal.
Bobcat also sells an axle washer to take up end play. They are set up so they each side of the washer is a different amount. It goes between the axle bolt and the sprocket.
