Anyone know of an easy way to reset bearing cup preload before replacing the axle housing after doing a brake job(Dry discs)? The manual shows some fancy tools to set and measure the preload, which I don"t have. Surely there must be another way. Many thanks to anyone who can help,
Markus

Thanks David,

My problem is getting those tools. No old-time dealers left in the area. Are these tools still available from Massey and if so, are they going to be prohibitively expensive? Alternately where would I find out their specs to make them up? Is the new Agco dealer still going to have them in his shop? These are my concerns. The unit is in dire need of a brake job, and the only stumbling block to doing it myself seems to be the lack of these particular gauging tools. It also needs a bunch of other work, like new loader bushings, rebuilt carb, fan belt, hoses, and loader control valve seals and eventually, an engine rebuild, tranny control bushings and steering pump seals, not necessarily in that order. The cost savings of doing it ourselves is imperative to keeping it going, not to mention the enjoyment of doing it. As landscapers that don"t plow snow we have the winter months to get our equipment in order.

Thanks again for your help,
Markus
