Backhoe Replacing Tooth on BH Bucket

[gregkabob]

I bent a tooth on my BH bucket and looking for some "TIPS" on replacing it. Getting the old one off and the new one on. The tip that is on there floats and had indentions on each side that hold it on. Do I cut it off, try to slide a chisle behind it to bend the indentions out?

Any tips from those with prior experiance on removal and installation will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you get a drill in there?
I'd try and drill the dimple out from each side.
start small and increase size
