Detension and Remove Old Tracks

What happens here

With the skid-steer safely lifted and secured, locate the track tensioning mechanism, which is typically a grease zerk or a mechanical adjuster on the idler wheel. Most compact track loaders use a grease-filled cylinder to tension the tracks. To detension, carefully remove the relief valve or fitting, allowing a small amount of grease to escape, which will release the pressure and slacken the track. Once the track is sufficiently loose, carefully pry or leverage the old track off the drive sprocket and idler wheels using heavy-duty pry bars. This can be a physically demanding step due to the weight and stiffness of the tracks. The video's narration explicitly mentions that 'these tracks are getting taken off,' indicating this process is underway.

Goal: Release track tension and remove the worn tracks from the skid-steer.
