I fitted an enduro mover 3 and a half years ago. It has performed perfectly up until now. One of the gearboxes now makes a loud grinding noise when operated. It still works but I am concerned that it may fail mechanically.

My first thought is to ensure that there are no obvious signs of wear and that the internal gears/chain are fully greased, Has anyone carried this out ? Do I need to remove one of the sideplates ?

I was hoping to do this with the mover in situ, so I don't have to tremove it from the van.

Advice appreciated....

Birdman...

Thanks for the response, very useful.

Managed to locate the four capheads when i had a look in the daylight yesterday, will hopefully attempt job next weekend.

Much appreciated.

Just for reference....

Tried this method, but couldnt slide the mover past the suspension unit on our bailey olympus.Resorted to unclamping and dropping the whole unit to gain access to the chain drive. Problem was being caused by a sprocket fixing pin that had worked its way loose and fwas fouling the chain on each revolution, problem solved now.

Thanks again birdman for your reply.
