On freight or regular passenger equipment, replacing a wheelset is a relatively simple matter. Remove the safety straps from the pedistal casting and lift and the wheel/axle assembly stays behind. On MU equipment, there is the problem of pre-load to consider. That is the alignment of the motor - flexible coupling and pinion gear into the gearcase. This is a setting that required precise geometry and is not normally done in a maintenance shop. |
