Coondog, I have not ever even worked on a CAT 375 excavator,but I have poked about on some fair sized O&K iron, but no matters?? I always blank off the pipes that go to the Rotary Coupling (C/Joint) from the valve block, this allows you to use the excavator hydraulics to lift the front up, I have never heard of anyone jacking this bit (Fservice might do it ???) so with the Pipes blanked of and the R/coupling possibly lowered into the carbody? and the swing box's pulled out your job would have been just a bit of Donky Work on the ring bolts, lots of sites in the U.K. would not allow this type of repair to be done,the excavator would have to be moved off site or done over the weekend without eyes looking on, this is often the point when I get involved to get it done?? please dont think I am posing as Mr U.K. Super Spanner Man, as I dont realy care if I never swap out another Roller Ring before my 6 bits of Wood turn up to box me in, but dont think I would not like the challenge to test myself against a task, I can pay a plane ride.
