Looking for anyone that is knowledgeable about track pin removal. Need to remove/shorten a H3 track. Any information or expertise advise appreciated. Would purchase or rent any type of pin press available. Thanks |

If you are shortening a track, then the UC is already fubar, and now you are gonna tear up the sprockets, too! JMHO. Someone should be along to talk about the tool... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

YEP... chain is stretched so it does not fit the sprocket... Removing a link does not fix the problem... might make it worse with a snug chain. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Master pin can be driven out with a BFH by using a pin held against the master link . Next problem is if you need to remove one link of which end do you remove - as you will need to remove another link . That link removal will change the overall dimension of the track and the on-center measurement between links - WHICH MEANS - the SPROCKET PITCH to BUSHING On-center will be off and lead to wear on both sprocket and track . Check the track to see if it has been turned in past - if not then have it pressed and turned at a track shop - to bring it back to close to acceptable specifications . OR CUT OUT 1 Link and ruin the ability to turn it later along with putting stress or rear case and bearings and damaging them beyond salvage later ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
