Hi all. I have a 1964 Cat 12E road grader, and just adjusted the brakes for the first time this morning. Got the pedal back, and things are working. I did notice that I seem to be out of adjustment on one of the wheels. So I'm "pro-actively" researching brake hub (wheel hub) removal for when brake shoes are needed.
The service manual shows a hydraulic press (See attached picture, I've read it takes 25 tons or more to move the hub on the shaft) to remove or install the hub. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an alternative way to do this? Thanks for any info!
