Hi all,
I have a 2' gauge railway and some wheels that are frozen b/c most likely the bearings are gunked up with clay powder and rust (they were used in a brick kiln factory).
I've removed many frozen roller bearings in other wheels with hydraulic gear pullers but these look like they require a spanner of some sort. Unfortunately I don't know the brand of these so I don't have access to a data sheet.
The one type of wheel has a lot of indents but the other if you can look close enough, only has 2 shallow indents and a grease nipple in the center. So I am a bit stumped. I don't know if the outside plates are screwed on or pressed in. The axles, btw, are stationary with the wheel turning on them (solid axle, 3" diameter). I'm regauging these with heavy duty pipe.
