Going to rebuild all front hydraulics on my D3b,borrowed a huge chain wrench with a 5' handle,I weigh 200 and my son 200 we have added a three foot Cheater and the crowns won't budge.There were no set screws.Next step is maybe a little heat,what do you all think.As near as I can figure we have put about 2000 ft lbs of turn with no results.:Banghead
Yair . . . Outasite . You are talking a different language (crowns?) but I assume you are trying to dismantle rams? If so I think there is a thread on this where you work the thread area of the cylinder up and down and back and forth with a ball-peen hammer . . . it minutely stretches the metal and sets the fine thread free. Cheers.
HeavyEquipmentForums Exactly as Scrub says, way better than heat.
Thanks for the replys,Scrub,The cat shop manual that i have refers the the cap as the "crown".As it goes on the head end of the cylinder.Quess that kinda makes sience-----Head & crown----Anyhow Ill try slapping that cap up a little, and give her another try.
About 20 medium lashes with a two pounder,and problem solved:notworthy knowledge is a powerful thing!! Thanks guy's
