Attempting to split my track on my crawler loader. I removed the pad over the master pin so I could grind away all the weld to drive it out. So far, no luck in getting that pin out.
My question is, can the bolts I removed (I unbolted three pad bolts, the 4th I had to cut off) be re-used? For some reason I got it in my head that new has to be used.
Now I got the pad and welds grinded off I have to re-install the pad to drive the pin out as the link just spreads when I hit it with my 21 pound sledge hammer. I don"t want to swing that hammer anymore than I have too!
