Hi All,
I have a D4 7J and both steering clutches have problems: the left one has a linkage problem and the right one is stuck. I am in the process of disassembling the CAT so I can repair both problems.
This is my first time doing this. I have a repair manual, parts manual, and operators manual. They provide general direction, but no real guidance on diagnostics. When I get down to the point where I can examine the clutch disks, what am I looking for? Is there any chance that they just need to be cleaned up and put back together or should I just assume that the disks have to be replaced?
While I have this torn down (I don't want to do this twice), what else, if anything, should I be replacing while I'm in there?
Thanks!
