Thanks very much for your investigation and remarks re the rear axle pinion. This job is being taken up by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} There should be a nip on the thrust bearings, but not on the inner roller bearing. When the pinion developed end slackness was there not any over-run period. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
