How do you install the planetary gear shafts in a D6H (or similar) final drive carrier? The book says lower the temp of the shaft and press into the carrier to the retainer to set the preload on the bearings. I would like to know how tight they fit? Can they be knocked in with a sledge? Or how big of a press would I need and what temp do you lower the shafts to?
I had 2 of the shafts work loose and leak oil around the retainer on my dozer and I'm replacing the carrier. I need to swap the gears/bearings from the old one onto the new one. I may need to replace the shafts if they are worn. The shaft would turn when I would try to tighten the retainer bolt. Hopefully I caught this before it becomes a bigger problem. Lots of questions.
Thanks!
