Help with replacing slack adjusters on a Deere 550B

Gooseidi ยท 2021-03-28 22:22

1980's John Deere 550B dozer. I'm replacing the slack adjusters. I got this far without issue. Any idea how to remove the old tubes so I can put the new ones in place? Are they a press fit? Weld on some chain and pull? Any help is appreciated.

    Nope, just rust holding them now.

    Flail the hell out of them or heat and beat as usual.

    Like one of the old timers, now that I'm turning 71 in a couple weeks I guess that would be me, would say, "Don't force it get a bigger hammer!"
