Introduction
Replacing a Spicer Series 10 crosshead is very simple and involves 3 activities: removing the old crosshead and analyzing the crosshead and cardan; installing the new crosshead, evaluating the cardan assembly again and finally, lubricating.

-
Remove the clamp fixing screws and remove the covers.
-
Manually remove the covers and the crosspiece;
-
When removing the covers, check that all rollers are in place, examine the crosshead body, that there are no marks or excessive wear. These signs indicate other problems with the Cardan, such as misalignment or lack of lubrication.

Do not reuse covers or plates. The Spicer Kit provides all necessary accessories; Check that there are no impurities or oxidation on the fixing eyes of the gloves, flanges or terminals;
-
Remove the crosshead covers being careful not to misalign or remove the rollers;
-
Position the crosshead with the grease fitting facing the tube and the ends of the grease fitting facing the sides, never towards the eye;
-
Fit the cover onto the lower eyelet perpendicularly, do not use oil or grease on the eyelets, if necessary, use a polyurethane hammer to place the plates on the eyelets;

Check that the crosshead moves freely and without noise;

Under no circumstances should you attempt any repair or maintenance for which you have not been trained or if you do not have the tools and equipment to repair it.

Always wear the proper safety glasses when performing any type of maintenance. Failure to wear safety glasses could result in injury and/or partial or complete loss of vision.
-
Always be careful when working with products that have sharp edges.
-
Inadequate lubrication or reuse of coupling parts or screws can cause the gimbal to fail or even separate the gimbal from the vehicle. A separate vehicle gimbal can cause an accident and even death. Don't take any chances with security.
