Typical steps to determine the proper amount of shimming at each axle are as follows:

2
00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:11,542
1. Measure all the wheels on the locomotive.

3
00:00:11,542 --> 00:00:16,792
<b>Note: </b>The average RADIUS for each wheel set is used.

4
00:00:16,792 --> 00:00:24,417
2. Determine the RADIAL difference between the largest wheel set and each of the other wheel sets.

5
00:00:24,417 --> 00:00:30,458
<b>Note: </b>No shims will be applied to the largest diameter wheel set.

6
00:00:30,458 --> 00:00:38,542
3. Using the RADIAL differences, determine the thickness of shims to be used on each of the other axles.

7
00:00:38,542 --> 00:00:44,500
<b>Note: </b>The same size shim combination must be used on both ends of each axle.

8
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:49,208
Consult the displayed table for shim dimensions and part numbers.
