The new axles are installed today.
---------------------------------------------------
I started the day by installing the bushings in the equalizers and springs.
The bushings are chamfered for ease of installation in the equalizers.
The springs were loosely installed on the axles.
And slid into place under the frame...
The equalizers and shackles are installed...
....and the springs are attached to the shackles and spring hangers. All hardware is tightened at this point.
Installation complete. I will retorque all fasteners when this project is near completion and axles assemblies are fully loaded.
The old wheels are installed. The frame is now mobile.
That's all for today.
