i need help! just had the d 17 loader out today and the right brake band broke. soo i remover the covering and i see no way to reove the pin unless i have to remove the whole axle. is thsi true? if so seems like a huge job just to change and repair brakes. if so looks like i have to remobe axle side console where hyd levers are and loader brackets. if this isnt true any tips or suggestions. and this is a d 17 series 4. right side.

True!
 
I made these notes after doing a brake job on my 185, same applies.
 

Drain fluids as needed.

 

Soak the top pivot pins on brake bands, they will most likely not come out easily, may need a hot wrench for them.

 

Remove anything mounted above the fenders, like ROPS, canopy.

 

Remove batteries, battery box, fenders and platforms.

 

Use safe supports under differential housing and hitch area to support SAFELY!

 

Remove wheel weights, then remove the tires/rims from the centers, this I thought would be easier to attach chains to for hoisting to the wheel center and housing.

 

Attach chain(s) to the axle, supporting axle as in line as possible, remove nuts from axle housing and remove axle.

 

You will want to put new seals in the differential carrier bearings,  inspect “O” rings closely, its easier to replace them now vs do  it later when you don't have the time to do it. 

 

The left side is the easiest and I started on it first, your preference.

 

The hydraulic control assembly will need to loosened and maneuvered slightly and some linkage disconnected to remove right axle, take your time, it can be done.

 

I did my 185 some years ago and may have forgotten a few little things but you will see these as you work along the way.

 

I hope this is clear to understand, HTH
