| Bearing cap |
 |
| Removing all the old grease from inside the bearing |
 |
| George screws on the bearing puller... |
 |
| ...wound up tightly... |
 |
| ...and out it comes |
 |
| After successfully removing the bearing, the cap was placed back on with the nuts wound up hand tight so fitters could continue on the other side |
 |
| The pedestrian truck is used to lift the LHS side rod slightly, this relieves any pressure on the ball bearings whilst the knuckle joint is disconnected |
 |
| Michael removes the nut in the knuckle joint, separating the two side rods |
 |
| The smaller side of the side rod is slowly lowered down |
 |
| The bigger end slides off the trunion |
 |
| LHS side rod successfully removed |
 |
| Work carries on over on the RHS with the knuckle joint being dismantled |
 |
| Same process again, the smaller end is lowered to the ground first, keeping the larger end on the trunion |
 |
| The expansion link is disconnected from the return crank rod on the LHS |
