CYLINDER BLOCK GP 1010828 - Caterpillar

5P8690 Cam Follower Fixture Group.With the new tools, a cam follower can be disassembled and assembled in about three to four minutes. This makes it possible to install new parts at a cost which is much lower than the cost of a new cam follower. Since there are 16, 24 or 32 cam followers in each engine, reconditioning will permit a large reduction in total cost.
The base of the 5P8690 Fixture Group can be either held in a vise or permanently fastened to a work bench or table. During disassembly and assembly of cam followers with the new tools, a 5P1720 Seal Pick can be used for easier removal and installation of the spring, spacer and plastic plug inside the cam follower. Complete instructions for use of the 5P8690 Fixture Group and 5P8691 Socket are given in Special Instruction Form SMHS7457.
