I am taking the first steps in converting my couplers to 740 Kadee type. I have watched the great videos done by @ericstrains.com and @Laidoffsick and have all the suggested tools. I have done a half dozen cars and so far, I'm happy.
But I am not sure how to tackle this Lionel FGE FreightSounds reefer, product # 1926080. Here are pictures of the original trucks. I don't want to do anything harmful to the wiring and electronics. Best approach?
Thanks,
Bob

Unscrew the screw under the roller to release the truck. Don’t pull it too far, but there’s enough wire to get the truck off and get the coupler off of the truck bolster.
It’s been a while but I don’t remember it being all that hard to do those cars.
It's no different than the other end of the car, you just have to be careful not to pull the wires out too far. I did all my sound reefers and sound box cars, and it was a tedious job, just take your time.
