iii. Greasing of Anti-Roll bar bearing assembly through grease

nipples in LHB coaches: For greasing of Anti-Roll bar bearings
during D2 schedule, the hexagonal bolt has to be removed every

time. To avoid this, Secunderabad depot has replaced existing
Hexagonal bolt with grease nipple. One time replacement of

Hexagonal bolt with grease nipple helps in avoiding hexagonal
bolts removal every time. Greasing is done with light weight hand

operated grease pump fitted with quick coupling device(QCD)
which is easy to operate. This decreases the fatigue of staff.

iv. Development of WSP testing facility: At Secunderabad Coaching

depot, after tyre turning of LHB coaches on Pit Wheel Lathe, the
coach used to be taken in IOH shed for testing of WSP system due to

non-availability of AC supply at Pit wheel lathe which delayed the
releasing of coaches for traffic. To overcome this hurdle, facility

has been provided at Pit Wheel Lathe area for testing of WSP
system of coaches after Tyre turning there itself. With this, faster
release of coaches is possible.
