cross tube remove

Micheal do both those washers go on the inside between the bogey and the hull wall ?

[Lynn Eades]

Richard,If I recall correctly (which may be in doubt) the bogey assembly goes between them. I would carefully check with string lines, and adjust accordingly. It must help.
I think the inner washer is thicker than the outer one.

Michael R. good pictures/info. thanks for posting.

HI ALL.
thanks you very much.
I removed out the bolt of the roller, and now my qustion is- is possible to remove the roller now? i sisnt even try, I thought it was too big to get out.
thanks arie

[Lynn Eades]

Arie, it should come out.

[RichardT10829]

As per Lynn, mine came out, you might need to get in there with a wire brush and clean off any build up that might be jamming the roller in situ.

as you can see in thw pic that Stephen posted, the casting is opened. is it modifyed??
in othe pic i see that the roller is partly covered.

Arie, I'm not sure what you mean.

[RichardT10829]

Lynn I think he means the tin dust shield that sits on top of the casting to cover the roller, there is usually a grease nipple located in the middle to lubricate the roller. Both of mine were still in situ.

Arie you will need to remove them, also you need to take all weight off the centre axle so the hull probably needs to do onto axle stands (or safer use railway sleepers stacked up)

So far Michael R's method is looking the best...... Wish I had access to one when I did mine...... I felt like weeping with frustration but kept at it and it came out in the end.

one things that I must point- during all of the work I doing on my carrier, I keep beeing amazed from the fact that all wheels, bougies, roller, were not stuck as I expected. I was amazesed the first time when I pulld the carrier out from the place it was in the last few decades. I tryed to tow it and... there was no problem. I could tow it easy. eaven today, I puld out the bolt of the roller easy, it was not rusted, or stuck, and came out oily.
one of the uper of the trak was missing. luckly, I found onther donor, and ther too, I was able to pull out the axle easy, and there too, it was oily and
shining like new inside.
I guss this is thanks to method of the oiling system in the carrier. the oil, unlike greas, dose not dry.
