The term in the military is "breaking track". Bashing means "to insult", which may very well be what you will be doing on a job like this if you do not have the right tools.

On the M113 we could often remove tension, jack up the hull so the offending arm was up in the air, pull the track higher with a small chain come-a-long, and remove the roadwheels without breaking track. Once the roadwheels were off, we would pull the torsion bar, then the support arm with hub. Normally the spindle is euchred when a bearing went.

Note this method would not work for the first or last roadwheel. In this case you had to break track.
