hi all,
I’m doing a rebuild on my hitachi ex60-3.
I’m going replacing the swing bearing while I have it stripped.
The workshop manual says that ep2 grease should be used to lubricate the the ring gear and pinion gear, filled to the top of the gear teeth.
Is there any better grade/type of grease to use for this?
There is also some wear evident on the swing motor gearbox pinion shaft gear teeth, I have sourced a new pinion shaft, so I intend to replace this shaft also.
Any tips or things I need to look out for when replacing the shaft on the motor/ gearbox assembly?
I have studied the workshop manual and it seems like a fairly doable job, pressing out the shaft sleeve and bearing being the trickiest parts, I have a 50ton press. I have a new seal also got for it.
Thanks
