eddeere Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Close to removing cab. What is the best way to support and lift cab. Also what are the two units pictured ? The one on left water separator ? The one on the right ? The black flex hose comes off air compressor. Thanks.

theakerstwo Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The one on the left is a reservoir for the shutter cyl oil.The one on the right is a air compressor governor which can be replaced with the newer model of D2.To lift the cab remove the steer wheel from its shaft and slide a wood 4 by 4 thru the door opening with the doors opened and use a over head hoist.

57 bcr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yes,DO NOT put the 4X4 through CLOSED B model doors(or any doors for that matter)! Like Glenn says. Common mistake. It turns good doors into junk! Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

hicrop10 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 That is just how i removed the cab off my B87.Using a 4x4 through the open doors and used my chain hoist.Double check even triple check that you have everything removed,disconnected from the dash.Tack cable,speedo cable,oil pressure line, air line,shutoff cable.Good Luck.
