14 Premier BL-2 Diesel Engine
Your locomotive is equipped with two neoprene rubber traction tires on each powered
truck block. While these tires are extremely durable, you may need to replace them at
some point.
First, remove the trucks from the chassis by unscrewing the body mounting screws as
noted in Figure 5. Next, remove the trucks from the chassis by unscrewing the truck
mounting screw also noted in Figure 5. Finally, turn the removed truck over and locate
and remove the truckside screws to gain access to the drive wheel traction tires behind
the trucksides.
Once the truck sides have been removed:
1. Make sure the old tire has been completely removed from the groove in the drive
wheel, using a razor blade or small flathead screwdriver to pry away any remains.
2. Slip the new tire onto the wheel. You may find it useful to use two small flathead
screwdrivers to stretch the tire over the wheel.
3. If you twist the tire while stretching it over the wheel, you will need to remove and
reinstall the tire. Otherwise your engine will wobble while operating.
4. Make sure the tire is fully seated inside the groove. Use a razor blade to trim away any
excess tire that will not seat inside the groove properly.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order.
One set of replacement tires is packaged with your model. Additional sets are available
directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department (order online: www.mth-railking.com,
