D6 Steering Clutch

By tracking down that tool number you are referring to the hydraulic booster for the steering clutches. That is probably one of the poorest described tasks in the Cat manuals. What they don't tell you is that the seal holders are pinned in place and these pins have to be drilled out before the puller can do it's task.

You can make your own puller....the threads you are connecting to are 7/8 - 14tpi.

Clean the paint off and look for the pins, one on each side just ahead of the threaded plug......not the rear pins that retain the seat that you don't have to mess with. The pins only go part way in to the seal holders. You can see the pin hole locations in the picture of the home made puller.

Here's a couple of pictures to help out.

Old Magnet, thanks for the come back. I was searching this site last night and found a post from last year by King of Obsolete on how too remove the steering boost seals. If I read, right you agreed with how it was done. My next question was how do you remove the retainer pins but it is covered in the post by King of Obsolete. Thanks again for your help and feel free to add any additional information that might help.

Try searching the BB for posts by "yellercat" as well. I believe that is where the pictures I posted came from. Those seal retainers are aluminum so go easy on the drilling and thread engagement.
