[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 7679, member: 82"] One thing, to install the cone on the axle i used a piece of water pipe and cleaned it out to use as a drift to seal the bearing. It keeps it square and MUCH easier to seat. I will take a pic of the tool i used to turn the axle to crack the net inside too. You will need to crack the hydro motor lines too, you need to be able to turn the wheels to un-do and tighten the bolts inside the chain case. Another tech that works for bobcat said he uses the hydrostatics to un-do and do the bolts up. He puts the spanner in place and starts the machine and uses the hydrostats to do the hard work. I don't recommend it, bit it can be done. Like i have said, it is NOT a fun job, but it can be done. The easiest way is to remove the chassis from the chain case but thats not always an option. Do note that the worn sprockets can be real sharp! i did cut a few fingers when i did it last, so be warned, try not to let them slip in your hands. [/QUOTE]
