00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,083
There are two coil springs per axle bearing housing.

2
00:00:05,083 --> 00:00:14,958
The purpose of the coil springs is to transfer the weight from the truck frame to the wheels and axles, cushion the impact load, and improve ride quality.

3
00:00:14,958 --> 00:00:22,917
To visually inspect the coil springs, raise the weight of the locomotive and truck from the axles to expose the springs.

4
00:00:22,917 --> 00:00:32,000
Visually inspect each coil spring for breaks, cracks, vertical wear flats, deep nicks, gouges, or other signs of damage.

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:40,458
If visible damage to a coil spring indicates that the useful life or performance of the spring may be limited, replace the spring.

6
00:00:40,458 --> 00:00:46,458
Remove the coil springs as directed in the Traction Motor Removal section of this module.
