About to dive into a failed steering clutch on this dozer. It has a ripper on it and I'm wondering if I should remove it before starting the clutch work for easier access. If I do, is it easier to pull the ripper off in parts, or as a single unit by pulling the pivot pins and remove it as a unit? I have a large backhoe with forks so I should be able to move it as a unit without issue.
Also have a question regarding getting at the final drive. Does the track roller frame absolutely need to be removed to pull the final drive apart? There is a leak from the steering clutch output shaft into the final drive, which makes me suspect that the bearing/seal at the final drive end has failed and may require disassembly of the final drive on that side.
