The Double Order Catastrophe
My co-worker placed an order and wasn't sure it went through online. I later placed the same order thinking the previous order didn't go through. To my surprise both orders went through, and I needed to cancel one of the orders. I called and spoke with someone who instructed me someone would contact me about the situation. I was contacted by Misty and she said she would do her best to cancel one of the orders but not sure if she could because they were next day orders. A small tome later I received an email saying she was able to cancel one of the orders. Thank you to Misty and the entire Propel Parts Team. Greatly appreciated!! -

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 8T4956 cap screw used for?
The 8T4956 cap screw secures components with a precise clamping force applied through its head. It keeps mating parts aligned under load and vibration.
How do I install the 8T4956 cap screw?
A reliable installation of the 8T4956 starts with inspection and ends with verification. Follow this process:
- Shut the machine down and isolate power before service
- Verify the thread condition on both the 8T4956 and its bore
- Clean the mating surfaces so nothing interferes with seating
- Hand-thread the screw first, then bring it to the initial torque
- Apply the final torque in the sequence given in your manual
- Re-check after the first operating cycle if the manual advises
Which Caterpillar machines is the 8T4956 compatible with?
The 8T4956 is matched to particular Caterpillar equipment, so always verify the application against your parts reference before purchasing. Check your manual or reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Does the 8T4956 cap screw meet performance standards?
Yes. Propel Parts supplies the 8T4956 as a premium aftermarket part made to meet OEM specifications. When replacing, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications so you can fit it with confidence.
How often should the 8T4956 be replaced?
Replace the 8T4956 whenever the assembly it serves is overhauled, or any time it shows wear, damage, or corrosion. Following the intervals in your service manual is the best guide. The 3B4505 Lockwasher is often renewed during the same service, so many technicians replace both at once to reduce downtime.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 8T4956 cap screw?
Catching a failing 8T4956 early prevents wider damage. The common warning signs include:
- A joint that gradually loses torque or works loose
- Damaged, galled, or corroded threads
- Elongation or a thinned, necked shank
- Vibration, movement, or leaks where it clamps
Why is the 8T4956 cap screw important, and what related part is commonly replaced with it?
Keeping the 8T4956 in good condition protects the components around it and supports smooth, reliable operation. Maintaining the assembly with parts that meet OEM specifications helps you avoid unplanned downtime. For a complete repair, the 7H7539 Nut is another component from the same assembly that is commonly replaced at the same time.
