00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,958
Typical steps to replace vertical snubbers are as follows:

2
00:00:03,958 --> 00:00:12,708
<b>Caution: </b>If one vertical hydraulic snubber is defective and there is another snubber on the same axle, replace both snubbers on that axle.

3
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:19,000
Use only recommended snubbers on the truck to ensure the proper match with locomotive load conditions.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:31,792
Replacement of only one snubber or failure to use the recommended replacement snubbers creates an incorrect damping condition, and may shorten the useable life of snubbers, springs, and other load-support equipment.

5
00:00:31,792 --> 00:00:38,667
1. Remove all four bolts and associated washers and nuts securing each snubber.

6
00:00:38,667 --> 00:00:44,083
2. Remove and discard both used vertical hydraulic snubbers.

7
00:00:44,083 --> 00:00:47,292
3. Install new snubbers.

8
00:00:47,292 --> 00:00:53,167
<b>Note: </b>The mating surfaces and threads of the snubbers must be clean and free of oil.

9
00:00:53,167 --> 00:01:02,083
4. Reinstall the bolts and washers to secure the snubbers in place, then torque the bolts to the proper value.
