hicrop10 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I am thinking of doing this to make the painting that much easier.Has anyone here done it before.It doesn’t look all that tough to do.My biggest concern is it has 65,000 lbs rears and canal back suspension.The truck has moved 100 ton before so I’m concerned with anything springing and not able to get it back together. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74779-separate-the-frame-and-bogies/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago if you have the set up and capabilities to SAFELY separate the units; would definitely be a better way to go. can check for worn parts etc . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74779-separate-the-frame-and-bogies/#findComment-562338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseliner64 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I have never done a Mack camelback suspension but i'v done a lot of Hino rear suspension which is very similar.(almost a copy with a few small differences in my opinion).It is very heavy work and a lot of lifting gear,forklift,jacks and cribin is needed as well as an inch air socket tool.As Mechohaulic said its a great oppertunity to check all the wear parts and do a great paint job.Good luck with it and if you do it put plenty of pictures.The truck looks great by the way...
