I repaired a leaking seal in my right hand final drive. Put it all back together....kind of.
I cannot get the master link back in. The chain won"t line up.
I also cannot seem to back off the idler wheel. If I could back off the idler a touch more I"d have the slack needed to get the links to line up perfectly to reinstall the master pin.
Does anyone have any ideas? The dozer is in the shop so there are no trees I can run into or whatever. I put a 6x6 between the bucket and the idler and dumped the bucket but it doesn"t move that idler. Is there a way to hook a come along to it to winch it backwards or what? BTW I removed the zerk fitting from right behind the idler to let the grease out and allow pressure to relieve (no grease ever squirted out when I removed it anyhow). If yall have an idea or trick I could use to get this darn thing buttoned up I"d really appreciate it.
Thx guys.
