BLOCK 7T5612 - Caterpillar

7. Put master shoe (2) in position on the master links as shown. Put 4S9416 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of the bolts that hold the master shoe. Install the four bolts and tighten to a torque of 295 55 N m (220 40 lb ft). Tighten the bolts 180° or more.8. Remove tool (G).
Keep away from the area of the machine when it is driven up on tooling (A) at the front of the machine and the rear of the machine. Tooling (A) can come out from under the tracks with force if it is not installed correctly.
9. Put tooling (A) at the front of the machine as shown. Start the machine and move it slowly forward and up on tooling (A). Remove tooling (B) from under the main frame of the machine. 10. Put tooling (A) in position behind the tracks as shown. Move the machine slowly to the rear and up on tooling (A). Remove tooling (C) from under the bevel gear case. Move the machine a little farther until tooling (A) is free to be removed at the front of the tracks. Move the machine slowly forward off of tooling (A) at the rear of the machine.11. Make an adjustment to the tracks. See, Track Adjustment, in Specifications.Disassemble Tracks
1. Remove the three track shoes over the area of the track that has damage. Remove the track. See, Separation Of Tracks. Put both ends of the track on 15.2 cm (6 in.) wood blocks.
As the track assembly is disassembled, do not damage the parts. Put all of the parts in a position so the ends of the bushings, the thrust rings, pins and seals can not be damaged.
2. Push the track pin part of the way out of the track assembly with tooling (A).3. Check the track pin for a groove (wear step) caused by wear. If the track pin does not have a groove (wear step), remove it all of the way out of the track assembly. If the track pin has a groove (wear step), push the track pin out 2/3 of its length.
Do not remove the track pin all of the way. Damage to the pin bore and link will be the result.
4. Remove tooling (A). Make a separation of the track pin with a cutting torch. Hit the short end of the track pin with a hammer until it is inside the bushing.5. Remove the next track pin. 6. Put tooling (B) between the track links as shown. Push the links away from each other enough to make a separation of the track chain.
Use shim stock as protection for the face of the seals when the track chain is pulled apart.
7. Remove thrust rings (1). 8. Remove the link, bushing (2) and link (3) with tooling (C). 9. Remove bushing (4) with tooling (C).10. Remove the seals from the links. If either the seal or the bushing has been damage, use new parts for replacement. Do not use parts
