    Without pics, kind of hard to say. What I think needs to happen is for the entire undercarriage to be slid out ward, they are held onto the torsion axles by 2 bolts. Undo these, then pull, pry just enough to get clearance. Don't go too far and drop the entire undercarriage.

    Thanks for the reply it actually turned out to be the axle shaft that holds the track is a tortsion bar and had to be pushed downward so the track that holds the bogie would clear!i can't find a spec to see where the correct position is . perhaps It is sprung or something.
