Hardy Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hello,I am trying to remove the one piece trunnions on a 1985 superliner.I have tried to remove the ring (with the 3/4" bolt through it)with a puller,heat and a big Hammer,but it will not budge,I have since cleaned it up and it looks like the ring is welded to the bushing?Is this normal? Before I get out the cutting torch i figure it might be cheaper to ask someone with experience,thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19805-removal-of-one-piece-tunnions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhasler Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 There is no ring on the one piece bushing. The sleeve, bushing, and ring are all one piece which presses into the trunnion housing.

rhasler Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It's supposed to slide off. If it won't slide off you may be able to set up a large puller. If it is really seized on the dead axle spindle you may have to cut through the bushing housing and the bushing. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

MasterTech Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Prob. be the fastest and easiest way to remove them, one that old isn't gonna give up to easy. I always use the hot wrench to remove the one piece units. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19805-removal-of-one-piece-tunnions/#findComment-84858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhasler Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 But be prepared for lots of stinky burning rubber. Most of the time it's really the only option.
