Early M332 jockey wheel / leg

[maverick]

Hi All,
I hope some of you can help me ??

I want to strip down a early style jockey wheel from a M332 ammo trailer ready for sandblasting. Ive undone all bolts but I can work out how to get the main leg seperate from the outer frame. Ive undone the four bolts that hold it in place but the winding mech goes through the frame so i cant seperate it, any clues as what i need to do ???

Thank you

I see the winding mech is keyed, can you get an adjustable wrench on there and turn it off in either direction? The answer lies in that piece, otherwise I fear you'll have to use a press or jack and pry apart the frame sides.

Could this have been a part that had the frame folded around it at the factory?

Ive tried the keyed mech and no joy, thought this woud be a quick simple job I think it must of been formed in the factory as I cant see any way of getting it out. I expect they changed the whole unit if it was damaged rather than rebuild ???

Thanks

Can you take the top off? (that big nut looking thing on top) On the 105 landing gear there is a roll pin holding the gear together inside.

Thats what I was going to say, only my experience was an M200 jack.
