Replacing the Sliding Shoes
Once you gained access to the sliding shoe, as explained above:
1.
Remove the old sliding shoe and tubing.
2.
With a grinder, make sure to remove the welds on the floor guide.
3.
Align the new sliding shoe in front of the packer and slowly extend the packer to make the sliding
shoe go under the packer.
4.
When the sliding shoes are back in place, tighten all retaining bolts.
5.
If the wear pads at the top of the packer need to be replaced, see Upper Wear Pads on page 37.
6.
Retract the packer.
7.
Weld both sliding shoes to the packer.
