Ordered 4 last night , still cheaper than Blackstone ! Never thought I would pay this much for a car though . I shudder to think what the BS K28 and K36 will cost .

Help with Westside K-37
It's fairly easy . After removing it from the loco just take a file to the side of the idler shaft and file it level to the gearbox . Then use a NWSL puller to force the shaft out . When reassembling
