00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,333
12. Disconnect the AC traction motor nose suspension as follows:

2
00:00:05,333 --> 00:00:15,167
a. Place a suitable jack under the lugs or motor frame, and ensure the jack cannot slip off if the motor moves or tries to rotate.

3
00:00:15,167 --> 00:00:25,250
<b>Caution:</b> Disconnect the suspension link by removing the CAMCAR bolts with a special socket or by cutting the bolts with a torch or hydraulic splitter.

4
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:33,458
If a torch is used, form a shield to protect the rubber parts of the suspension link from heat damage and use extreme care.

5
00:00:33,458 --> 00:00:37,583
Do not reuse the bolts, washers, or nuts.

6
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:41,708
b. Disconnect the suspension link from the motor.

7
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:48,000
<b>Warning:</b> Do not pull the suspension link away from the motor until the motor is secured properly.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,458
Otherwise, the motor will drop.

9
00:00:50,458 --> 00:01:04,458
<b>Note:</b> For AC traction motors located in positions 1, 2, 5, or 6 in locomotives with generation 1 and generation 2 steerable trucks, the suspension link will contact the motor nose bracket.

10
00:01:04,458 --> 00:01:11,708
This bracket is attached to rubber mounts and will move to permit the suspension link to clear the motor frame.

11
00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:18,333
c. Pull the suspension link away from the motor by using a come-along or similar chain rigging.

12
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:26,708
d. Lower the drop table by a few inches while raising the jack to allow the motor safety nose to clear the truck frame.
