5.
Install straight pin (7) in end connector puller (8). Install end connector puller (8) through
bolt hole in end connector (2). Puller must rest flat against end connector (2) and straight
pin (7) must engage bolt hole on both sides of end connector (2) so bolts of end connector
puller (8) engage track link pins (3). Tighten or loosen straight pin (7) until end connector
puller (8) is properly adjusted.

Tighten bolts on end connector puller evenly, so end
connector is pulled evenly off track link pins. Failure to do
this can result in damage to puller and track link pins.
When tapping end connector puller with hammer, strike
bolts squarely to avoid mushrooming the heads of bolts and
damaging the puller.
