Kevin, I used my small engine hoist to remove and reinstall my trunnions. I use a 2 Ton Goodyear hydraulic hoist that I picked up at Sam's Club back in 07 and it folds up very easily for storage.
I started work on the right trunnion. Stripped off my inner cover and two of the M2 mounts so that I could get the gasket retainers off and pull out the old felt gaskets. Will have to FAB up some new gaskets and then install my wiring. The cutout / limiter switch needs some work and I may have to swap it out with a spare. Once that felt was out, I was able to lubricate the ball bearings in the trunnion and it moves very smoothly now.
The oilier on top of the trunnion needs to be cleaned up as it seems to be clogged, but functions correctly regards the spring operated detente.
My turret, like my track has it's serial numbers (2616L M45F) stamped into the frame even under the data plate and that appears to be a B-M trademark on conversions. My track was converted to a M16A2 in 1952 and the HT USA number was stamped into the front bumper in two places.
