Not sure is a gear as cracked or what but I need to access the wheels on an FA-2.  Google was no help.   Anyone tell me how to access the wheels on the truck?

Loco was fine yesterday but tiday one wheel set is cranky.

Thanks.

The exploded diagram is here:

The sideframes and truck bottom cover assembly are held in place at the front and rear by cross pieces that snap over "wedges" at the front and rear of the truck. Gently pry the cross pieces up with a small screw driver and the cover assembly should lift off.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
