Removing the rollers rolls

Yesterday, volunteers Tom, Steve, Richard and Michael spent the day removing the front and back rolls as well as the headstock off the roller

The 'before' shot

The front of the barrel was jacked and packed to lift the headstock clear of the pivot pin, once it was cleared we carefully dragged it out using the tractor and packed it on the hardstand

Front roll off

For the back rolls we jacked and packed under the foundation ring to lift the rolls off the ground. Then, using the a-frame, we pulled the rolls from the axle and dragged them back clear
