Not so new a topic over lubing problem

[MarkInLA]

Since no one disputed my description of screw removal or if railings/grab irons need come off first or such it looks as if I just have to be more trusting and tuck a bit more..Again I'll assume it is straight up tug; not toward front or rear..This is HO both 2-6-0 and 2-8-0..Have an RS3 but I'm not worried about a diesel shell...No further replies will assume all now agree.
Thanks again,
Mark Harris

Thanks all responses. I guess I just got to tug harder is whole problem since no one says anymore about removal of anything else..Mark

Remove screws, steps, Cab up a bit, then forward. Jiggle things a lot. The link seems straight forward to me. Maybe consider taking it to a local train shop, or train club, even a show, and getting hands on help, and see it done once.
