Inspect the walking beam for cracks or other
damage. If damage is found, replace the walking
beam.
Keep the vehicle supported by the jack stands
for the next operation.
5.
Manipulate the walking beam so that a microm-
eter, vernier, or dial caliper can be used to deter-
mine the wear area thickness on the bottom
face. See
Measurements should be taken
a minimum of 1/2 inch from the beam flange
edges to eliminate any edge wear that may have
occurred. Subtract the wear area thickness (see
, Ref. B) from the thickness at the non-
wear area (see
, Ref. A) to determine the
amount of wear.
If the beams show any wear greater than 0.062
inch (1.5 mm), a Chalmers wear plate must be
installed, or the walking beam must be replaced.
6.
Rotate the restrictor cans 360 degrees and in-
spect the cans for cracks, severe corrosion, and
distortion. If any of these conditions are present,
or the restrictor can is missing, replace the re-
strictor can.
WARNING
Replace all cracked or missing restrictor cans.
Failure to do so could lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol, which could result in property damage, seri-
ous personal injury, or death.

purpose chassis grease with a pressurized grease
gun until old grease is forced out.
