j hancock Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Insulator cap capscrew torgue limit info:7/16 40-44 lbs. ft1/2 61-681/2 stud 69-769/16 99-108steel caps should be tightened till snug then bring them up to torque using an alternating pattern like doing a wheel.Forged aluminum caps should be done in a clockwise pattern to final torque.7/8 X 9 capscrew 380-4157/8 X 14 nut 345-375recommended to go in stages 150, then 250 then to finalMaybe this will help. Info from Mack TS 442 dated 1979.What style trunion do you have? Rubber? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

B-LineV8Superliner Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 It has a bronze bushing inside the trunion which has been replaced. insulator caps are cast i do believe that this unit is the heaviest style of camel back 46-56000lb rating? Was also wondering about tourquing sequence on carrier to axle housing i was given a tourque of 240-260lbs i was also wondering if loctite should be used on carrier bolts that are located inside carrier housing - famous for coming loose??

j hancock Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Bronze trunion adjustment for SWS59 (new SS65C-W) bogie is shown as 0.010- 0.015 gap. Approx. one sixth to one half turn back.Torque for clamping bolt and nut is listed as 120-130.On SWS68 (new SS50C or SS58C) and SWS571 (new SS441C) bronze trunion gap is 0.010 - 0.020.All these seem to utilize the D washer.Can't seem to find torque on carrier bolts? Following values off standard torque chart.9/16 grade 8 fine is 196-216 9/16 grade 8 course is 192-2125/8 fine 268-296 5/8 course 244-270Utilize cross pattern to tighten. I have used a locking compound on them.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

e9500v8 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I do know that U-Bolt torque is1800 ! And it sure makes bushings last alot longer if you torque them proper!!!!!
