El Campo/Houston, TX | I just did this job today on an 8970! This was a 1993 year model with 26 thousand hours. The wedges on the wheel hubs are brutal to get off but aside from that it’s doable. Even 1 inch Aircat with lots of air and a 3/4 inch hose BARELY could get all the wheel and hub bolts out. There are 12 bolts that hold the differential housing to the frame, takes a 36 mm socket (everything else is 32 mm btw). The bolts around the perimeter of the final drive are easy to get off (factory Manual says are torqued to only 166 lb ft.) Electric Milwaukee took off easily. No way that I see to remove final drive without dropping entire differential housing. The whole differential assembly weighs 3000 pounds. We have a Manitex 1768 boom truck so we took it out that way. Jacked the front end up and put on blocks then with a mile long rope dropped the differential to ground and pulled out from the side. I also broke an axle like you did on a 9400 on the back, it too looked rusty most of the way through.
