Break down rear trunion

Postby pfarber » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:21 pm

Had this for a while from an old dumper I parted out... the rear springs/seats/trunnion shaft. Damn thing was forever in the way.

It was actually quite easy to break down.... the bearings are only held on by nuts and lock washers (just like the wheel bearings)

Takes up a lot less space now:

I need to make a little more space on the shelf to get it all on it.

One thing to note is that you need some pretty long bolts for a bearing puller if you want to remove the inner bearing cone.
