00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,500
12. Disconnect the AC traction motor nose suspension as follows: 

2
00:00:05,500 --> 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 --> 00:00:37,833
Do not reuse the bolts, washers, or nuts. 

6
00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:41,958
b. Disconnect the suspension link from the motor. 

7
00:00:41,958 --> 00:00:48,250
<b>Warning:</b> Do not pull the suspension link away from the motor until the motor is secured properly. 

8
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:50,708
Otherwise, the motor will drop. 

9
00:00:50,708 --> 00:01:04,708
<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
00:01:04,708 --> 00:01:11,958
This bracket is attached to rubber mounts and will move to permit the suspension link to clear the motor frame. 

11
00:01:11,958 --> 00:01:18,583
c. Pull the suspension link away from the motor by using a come-along or similar chain rigging. 

12
00:01:18,583 --> 00:01:26,958
d. Lower the drop table by a few inches while raising the jack to allow the motor safety nose to clear the truck frame.
