Hi all I have a Cat 8F2666 cylinder on my D47U serial 7U25012.The cylinder is dripping and I was wondering if I have to tear it completely apart to remove the gland shims.I see they are all in there yet and I havent tried to remove them as yet.I was hoping they are in halves to remove them when the bolts holding the gland are removed. Let me know Thank You

I have been successful tightening them up. I think I had to snip one or two off on a cylinder, rather than gut it. Sorry my memory isn't the best. JM

Thanks for the reply JM That sounds like it would work, the shims are super thin.[img]/media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png[/img]

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
