hi
Just in the middle of 'rebuilding' my left side final.
Dit my right side last summer and is working really fine.
I had to pull the right side because the clutch fork shaft was stuck! Really stuck! The fiber and steel disks just neaded cleaning.
I decided to do the left side likewise because I needed to work on the track rails and the right side just feels so much better now.
On the left side had the brake leaver stuck on the steering leaver shaft. So it applayed the brake to early. (real pain to get it off but after 1 full day it came off)
I use a service manual, without it I was lost!!!
With the removal of the cap screws I did not see the bolt that holds the bottom plate to the final drive witch is sitting almost at the rear crossbar.
On the right side it is hard to reach ( the hydrolic components). On the right side you can reach it from above.
To get the final off i used long bolts to get the final to move straight away frome the tracktor.
The inner side just needed al lot of cleaning, loosning and grease.
(in my case)
Adjusting the cluch fingers is a real pain but after i "discoverd" that the retainer is easy to remove with a small screwdriver. (you will need to release the tension from the pressure plate by releasing the 6 bolts)
(Why isnt this in the service manual?)
And the retainers will just pop back in place without much force!
If I am doing somethings wrong, please correct me!
I hope some people will be inspired to rebuild the finals themselve.

Hugo; I also am new to the crawler repair business. I am rebuilding a 1010c. After reading your post I am wondering if I have made a mistake. When I installed and adjusted the pressure plate I removed the clips as you discribed, although I did not reinstall them as the pressure plates that were removed did not have them in place either. Hopefully some one with more experience will clear this up as I am reassembling the other final drive and would prefer to use the correct procedure. Any help will be appreciated . Mark
Hi,I can't give you a definitive answer as to why the clips are there, they were never a factory item, you only see them on aftermarket or rebuilt pressure plate. While there is surely no harm in reinstalling them, all mine go in the scrap dumpster.

in service manual 2063 page 140-20-1. These clips are discribed as: Return clips. So I think they are factory made.
I think they are a little bit extra to keep the 'clutch release lever' on his place.
