Sliding Axle Jumped The Rail/Pins

IF the #### things off the rails, you wont slide nothing. Am I right?

They must have really slammed that thing to create the problem you speak of. That tells me a deeper problem, anger or something close to it. Maybe even hate.

 

THIS is interesting.

Let's assume that there is so much weight on the pins you cannot pull the 4 foot widow maker to release the pins.

Have someone hold a railroad spike to each and beat em off with a sledge maybe. But that's ghetto.

If... the rail is sitting ON the 4 pins of that tandem wheel set. Don't slide a #### thing. I bet that tandem wheel set will come right out from under there axles and all.

 

Try what you suggested and slide the tandems until it goes into place. Might want to see if has a retainer that wont allow the assembly to come down.

 

Get a couple off forklifts.

 

Guess you won't know for sure till you try it. But if you "F" it up, they will blame you for it. Just take it to shop and let them fix it.

 

I had that happen before and just used a BFH to knock the pins back so the trailer would drop down on the chassis.

 

Don't pull the trailer anywhere until the pins are locked in. If you hit the brakes too hard the chassis will roll out from under the trailer and you'll really be ####ed. Just smack the pins with a hammer and be quick about it.

 

I guess I'm visually stimulated. I can not begin to image WTH the situation is without a picture. Would also love to have seen a video of the event that led to this situation that I can not picture ("rail jumped above the pins")
