Articulated vehicle track components and methods and tools for their removal

摘要

A ground contacting component for an articulated vehicle track link is retained in the track link by engagement of latterally projecting wings (74) in grooves of the track link. The ground contacting component (70) includes a resilient tongue (78) which engages an end wall of the track link (50) to prevent movement of the ground contacting component out of the track link. The resilient tongue includes a removal tool engagement formation (79) which cooperates with the removal tool (10) of the invention to depress the resilient tongue (78) and to withdraw the ground contacting component from the track link.
