NOTE: The following steps are for installation of the track rollers.

7. Fasten a hoist and suitable lifting device to Tool (C). Align the flat side of the roller shaft with the roller frame and put track roller (2) in position.

8. Put caps (1) in position on each side of the roller and install bolts

9. Use Tooling (A) to raise the side of the tractor. Remove Tooling (B). Lower the tractor to the ground and with Tooling (A).

10. Adjust the track tension.

NOTE: For adjusting the tension on the tracks, refer to the topic "Adjust Tracks" in the Operation & Maintenance Manual.

a. remove track rollers

Fluid Spillage Containment

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the
machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing
fluids. Refer to "Tools And Shop Products Guide", NENG2500 for Tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar machines.
Dispose fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
1. Use a hammer and punch to remove the plug out of stopper (2).

NOTE: Removal of the plug and stopper (2) requires damaging stopper (2).

2. Use a slow speed drill and 12.7 mm (.50 in.) drill bit to remove stopper (2) from the shaft.

3. Remove lock ring (3) and end collar (1) from both sides of the track roller.

NOTE: If the Duo-Cone seals are to be used again, put identification marks on the seals to assure that they are assembled and installed in their
original positions.

4. Remove Duo-Cone seal assembly (4) from end collar (1).

5. Use Tool (A) and remove retaining ring (5) from rim assembly (6).

6. Repeat Step 5 for opposite side.

7. Use a press and roller shaft (7) to remove the bushing assembly on the opposite side.

8. Rotate the roller assembly over 180 degrees. Use a press and roller shaft (7) to remove the remaining bushing assembly.

9. Remove O-ring seals (8) from roller shaft (7).

10. Remove O-ring seal (9) from bushing assembly (10).

11. Remove Duo-Cone seal assembly (11) from bushing assembly (10).

Assemble Track Rollers

NOTE: Refer to the topic "Conventional Duo-Cone Seals " for further information prior to assembling the track rollers.

1. Clean and inspect all parts for wear or damage and replace if needed.

2. Make sure all parts are free of oil, film, dirt or other foreign material before assembling.

3. Install O-ring seal (9) on bushing assembly (10).

NOTE: Refer to the topic "Conventional Duo-Cone Seals " for proper installation procedure.

4. Use Tooling (B) to install Duo-Cone seal assembly (11) in bushing assembly (10).

5. Lubricate O-ring seals (8) lightly with SAE 30W oil. Install O-ring seals (8) on track roller shaft (7).

6. Lubricate the bore of rim assembly (6), outside surface and seal of bushing assembly (10) lightly with SAE 30W oil. Use a press and Tool (C) to
install bushing assembly (10) in rim assembly (6). Bushing assembly (10) should just clear the retaining groove in rim assembly (6).

7. Use Tool (A) to install retaining ring (5) in rim assembly (6).
 NOTICE

The bushing assembly in track roller (6) can be damaged when shaft
(7) is installed in rim assembly (6). Use care when positioning shaft
(7).

8. Rotate the track roller assembly over 180 degrees and install track roller shaft (7) in rim assembly (6).

Typical Example
9. Lubricate the bore of rim assembly (6), outside surface and seal of bushing assembly (10) lightly with SAE 30W oil. Use a press and Tool (C) to
install remaining bushing assembly (10). Bushing assembly (10) should just clear the retaining groove in rim assembly (6).

10. Use Tool (A) and install retaining ring (5) in rim assembly (6).

11. Rotate the track roller assembly over 180 degrees. Use a press against track roller shaft (7) to move the opposite bushing assembly (10) out
against retaining ring (5).

NOTE: Refer to the topic "Conventional Duo-Cone Seals" for proper installation procedure.

12. Use Tooling (B) and install Duo-Cone seal assembly (4) in end collar (1).

13. Install end collar (1) and lock ring (3) on track roller shaft (7).

14. Repeats steps 12 and 13 to install the remaining end collar (1) on the opposite end of track roller shaft (7).

15. Use Tool (D) to pressure test the track roller as follows:
a. Use air (free of water) to pressurize the track roller to 280 kPa (41 psi).

b. Observe the pressure reading of the track roller. The pressure should remain the same for ten seconds. A reduction in pressure in ten seconds or
less indicates a leak in the track roller. In the event of a leak, the track roller must be disassembled and checked.

Typical Example
16. Use Tool (E) to check the end play of shaft (7). The end play should be 0.25 to 1.33 mm (.010 to .052 in).

17. Fill the track roller with 410 ± 25 ml (13.9 ± .8 oz) of SAE 30W oil. The track roller should be filled through the opening in shaft (7) for the plug
and stopper (2).

Typical Example
18. Put clean oil on a new stopper (2). Install stopper (2) in the end of shaft (8). The outside face of stopper (2) should be 7 ± 7 mm (.275 ± .275 in)
below the chamfer of shaft (8).

19. Use Tool (F) to install the plug in stopper (2). The outside surfaces of the plug and stopper must be flush.
