Hi,

I have disassembled everything to get these brake shoes off, but do not see how to remove these pins, they are likely seized. Do they push out through the backing plate or come out the front, on the side with the shoes?

As Dr. Ken said, the retainer clips need to come off the pins. They are the part numbered 13 in the parts diagram below. You need to pry the ends apart a little to get them to come off. They may shoot across the room when they give way.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick replies! I removed the clips and all the springs, including the one behind the anchor pin plate. The pins rotate and float back to front slightly, but I still can't tell if they come out the front or back. I had not noticed the anchor pin collar (14 in the first diagram) when I looked at the diagram before I started, I think the pin is seized in the collar. Any tricks to break that loose? Do you think if I pulled the axle it would free up the backing plate from the axle bearing assembly (26), then I could deal with the seized collar on the bench? Am I correct in assuming I can pull the axle and replace the seal (25) w/o removing the trumpet/axle housing?

Thanks,

Yes. Remove the clips. Replace with new ones upon reassembly.

If you (unlike me) are LUCKY, the anchor pins will come out toward the front.

Often times they are seized into the bushings. They can be very difficult to get out if badly seized because there is no way to hammer on the pins while at the same time backing up the assembly.

With the shoes in place, there is no way to get heat to the bushings to free the pins.

I don't waste time with them anymore, but simply torch off the shoes in order to get heat to the bushings.

I usually install new pins and clips upon reassembly and use abundant amounts of anti sieze.

OK, thanks for all the tips. I got the first one out between downpours this afternoon. I don't have a pole barn up for it yet and seems all it does is rain since I got this thing! With all the springs and H/W removed, I was able to swing the shoes vertically and get behind the anchor pin plate with a torch. Propane did not seem to cut it, so I used a MAP torch; alternating heat and PB Blaster. It did not appear the pin had any shoulder that seated anywhere, so looking like dealer's choice; I drove it from the front through the backing plate. I used a welding Vise Grip with "C" jaws to stabilize the backing plate against the anchor pin plate as best as possible.
 
(quoted from post at 02:23:01 05/13/19) Be happy you don't have a row crop tractor. It's real fun extracting those pins with the final drive in the way.

Yes, I'll take the easy ones when I can get them. The second one popped right out with the MAP gas; don't know if it was not as froze, or if the MAP gas was the key. Each configuration has its own challenges. I have a 720 loader and F9 backhoe on this one. I have paid my dues on other repairs, sometimes it's like milking a cow through a 5 board fence!

I ran into the same issue with my 641 today...finally used a air chisel with blunt driver to drive them out from the backside. I didn't want to drive them from the retaining clip side in fear of messing up the clip's holding slot. The other issue I'm having is PO must have pried on the backing plate something fierce for now it is bent all to heck. Gonna have to pull the axel to get the plate off and on to a press or try to find a new used one. Anyone got a spare they'd like to sell? Dan
