REMOVAL
NOTE
Use this task to remove any one of the left or right, front or rear, inner or outer tire
assemblies. Right front outer tire assembly is shown.
1.
Apply parking brakes. Block opposite-side track (refer to TM 9-2330-205-14&P).
2.
Loosen but do not remove eight lug nuts (1) on tire assembly to be removed.
CAUTION
Do not loosen the track alignment or
adjustment screws, located on each
side of the frame group. Failure to
tighten the adjustment screw will
allow the frame group to move freely
and damage the track belt.
NOTE
If the inside tire assembly requires
removal, the trailer must be raised
high enough to pivot the frame group
so the tire assembly clears the leaf
spring shackle and axle hub.
