22 Brake Band & Steering Clutch Removal???

[Peter Mercer]

I have the brake/steering drum removed. There doesn't seem to be enough space or room to remove the pin that holds the brake band on. Am I missing something? See photos below.

Also the steering clutch doesn't want to come off. I didn't try heat as I didn't want to damage the clutch disks or the springs. Do anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

It's been a while but, I think you have to remove the 2 big bolts from the release arm before the clutch pack can be removed.

I did remove my brake bands but it's bee a while as well. I think I may have drifted the large pin out. If I can find my manual I can post some pictures.

I'll be working on my 22 once the weather (and the barn) warms up some more.

Well it looks like the clutch pack is similar to the D2 and that piece of angle iron you're using is not enough. You need some thing like a couple of pieces of 1/2x2 on edge with spacers to allow the bolts to pass through. It can take up to 10 to 15 tons of pull to get them to pop and when they do look out, I hope you still have the bolt in place backed off 3 or 4 turns to catch things. Yes you need to also remove the two bolts, one on each side to release the release bearing from the release fork before you go trying to remove them clutches.

Here is what I did to take off mine on my D2, I was using a 20 ton hydralic cylinder.

On the brake band you'll need to push out the large pivot pin.

Thanks guys. I can always get the info I need here.

I will give it another try tonight.

I have taken off several D2 clutch pacs with an OTC puller. I had to always use a little heat (carefully). Once you have the puller tight as it can be, apply the heat and the pack will pop off. As someone said, keep the bolt screwed on and loosened few turns so the pac doesn't come flying off.

Also oil the puller screw threads.
