Hi, I need to replace a broken boiler shell on an EM-1 and just wondered how one goes about removing them?

Thanks

That link should help a little.

1.  Remove trailing truck.

2.  Remove cab screw underneath

3.  Remove four screws:  two under each sand dome.  Sand domes will lift off with gentle persuasion.

4.  Snap up swiveling pipe from the lead truck/pilot.  Gently but firmly will do.

Shell will then lift off.

Regards,

Jonathan
