5.2.3 Removing the Crosshead Guides
Use the following procedure to remove the crosshead guides.
Remove the Crossheads as per 5.2.2.
1
Remove the four (4) bolts which affix the
2
crosshead guides to the frame.
The upper guides are only
affixed to the frame by the
NOTE
bolts, and so must either be
secured or removed during the
unbolting procedure.
Remove the crosshead guides.
3
Shims, if present, should be left in place if
the guide is to be reinstalled. If not, a new
shim package and realignment will be
necessary.
It is extremely important to
make note of the size and
placement of shims during
NOTE
removal. Failure to do so can
result in excessive piston and
liner wear due to
misalignment.
