JD 450C top track roller

[TXBobcat]

I am trying to figure out the correct procedure for installing a new top carrier track roller on on a JD 450C. The old roller broke off the shaft, and at this point, the old shaft is what is left, attached to the bracket.

I have purhcased a new part, which includes the roller and shaft all in one piece. I am assuming the shaft is pressed into the bracket; therefore, I will need to remove the bracket holding the old shaft, then have the old shaft pressed out, on the new one pressed in.

Please let me know if this is the correct procedure.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Many aftermarket rollers come assembled with the shaft. Check your service manual for the how far to push the shaft in, there is a measurement from the seal surface on the bracket to the end of the shaft.
