Product

What is the 8T2396 bolt used for?

The 8T2396 is a fastening bolt that secures parts on Caterpillar equipment, providing the clamp load that keeps a joint tight in service.

How do I install the 8T2396 bolt?

Fitting the 8T2396 correctly comes down to clean surfaces and following the manual sequence. Work through these steps:

  1. Shut the machine down and isolate power before service
  2. Clean the threads and mating faces so debris doesn't affect clamp load
  3. Inspect the threaded bore and the 8T2396 for damage
  4. Start the bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading
  5. Torque it to the value and sequence listed in your service manual
  6. Re-check torque after the first operating cycle if the manual advises

Which Caterpillar machines is the 8T2396 compatible with?
