B219 on B7100 Removal Tips/Tricks?

[Lil Foot]

Any advice out there?
Stands that need to be made?
I will be starting the removal of mine soon....

Hi Lil Foot, I first Thought you were removing your backhoe but the B219 is your FEL. Is it basically self contained? Pump off the front of the engine and hydraulic fluid in the arm? If so it will just be a lot of bolts to remove and an overhead hoist or gantry to relieve the weight.
I am curious why you are removing it.

This thread should clarify why I need to remove it.
Pulled the backhoe off last trip to the high country, FEL is next.
I've had the hoe on/off a couple times, but never the loader.
Not looking forward to this teardown/repair.
I just hope the cases aren't cracked.

Looks like my B7100 is down for the foreseeable future...

Noticed a pretty severe oil leak coming from the B7100 this past week. It appears that a small piece of this gasket (lt blue oval) has dropped out in the area of the red arrow. Leak is approximately one drop per sec cold, faster when hot. Seems like a pretty easy fix, ONCE YOU REMOVE ENOUGH...
