After running warm yesterday, coal wagon no.722's axlebox was dismantled today to investigate. This photo is after the underkeep and pad have been removed |
Michael jacks up the end of the wagon in order to remove the spring, axlebox and bearing |
Spring removed |
Axlebox removed, it was found the underkeep pad was dirty and not feeding oil through to the journal/bearing. |
