Ok Thanks, I was planning on a new belt it needs one and I was planning on changing the filter since its easy to get at. Also I am putting a new alternator belt on while I am that far. Going to do a nice look over to make sure everything that could be fixed easily while the engine is out gets...

Hey thanks for the tool part numbers and advice that was really helpful!! Went and bought a similar puller at harbor freight had to add a couple longer bolts to get the separator to separate a little farther. I got the grade 8 bolt drilled out.......(mushroomed the hole a little and made it to...

Thanks!! I'm not offended at all I always want to make sure I'm not forgetting something obvious. Ok so I used grade 8 bolts and I tightened them down until they bottomed out and then backed them out a couple turns. But I think you answered my problem I think I'm using two long of bolts so the...

I ended up getting it out by using their method. It didn't come out to bad. Next question the swivel rotor I took off the wrong snap ring and pulled out the swivel. Then a little washer spring and plastic or carbide looking seal fell out. The seal or plastic piece was broken. Anyone have any...

Thanks for the help. The service manual was not really clear on what to exactly take out. And yes I do have all of those little parts and I put them back in there very carefully. When you put that "end cap" back on to pull the piston out its going to come pretty hard right? Feels like it has...

I am trying to remove the roto swivel on a 610 bobcat. I currently have the variable sheave off and I have the little snap ring off that removes the swivel where the hydraulic hose connects to and there are two little bearings on there that is removed. Now what is the next step in getting to the...
