In October 2020, with No 9 finally inside The Shed, the reverser frame and rod were dismantled for inspection and cleaning. The counterweight was secured and we tackled the work. All but 2 of the nuts and bolts needed much persuasion releasing there grip - this engine has been looked after!

| Just 2 bolts to remove. These bolts were the ones that were not co-operating! |
