ok so sorry this is friday and yes im posting thursday's now
this is due to me being in durham with fi
and its a really nice place met her mates up here and they are a pretty great bunch although jack is a lil well umm he's jack
right so thursday
basically rocked up to work and me and pete started to take the vavle gear off the merdin
we already had the bogie over the pit so we just started to take it apart
we used the crane to lift the entire valve gear into the up postition on the lifting link
then we knocked the pin out after a little swearing and bending of copper pipes it was extracted
it was in a poor state so me n pete decided that a new one will be made
we then needed to drop off the links? see pic above
the top half came away easily as they were attatched to the pin
but the bottoms were a little more difficult due to the fact that on the outer ones there wasnt enough room between the link? and the frame to get the pin out
therefore we had to drop the entire lifting link off see right
this was the easiest way to do this and yeh it worked well
and that was all we got done today apart from knocking the old buhsings out and finding that we didnt have any new ones that fitted doh
