How do you no if u got to replace the trunnion what do u look for.

I like to do one side at a time. Sometimes it hard to beat the spring saddle off of the spring, so replacing the saddle with the spring is alot easier. You can use an air hammer with a chisel end to clean/break out all the dirt in the buckets. The buckets can fill up with crap so the bottom pad doesn't fit correctly. You can use a small car floor jack to lift the buckets into position, the buckets are heavy. You can use a port a power or a come along to push or pull the axles back into place when you install the buckets. Wire wheel the shit out of the trunnion bar and then grease the shit out of it so the spring pack slides back on smooth. Make sure everything is supported as you go along.

Hopefully some of this helps. Thank you fore your response we had to cut all the bolts out 3/4 impact not doing job but we have it all apart. Ready to install one side. learned that you have to sapport the buckets on the spring before cutting the last bolt. lots of tennsion on spring. LOL. Will do other side different. We will be back if we have questions. Thank You.
