Replacing CP-38 Spear Hook
Posted by bigbit on Monday, December 15, 2014 5:41 AM

How is the CP-38 spear hook replaced in a pre-war box coupler (lumber car 3651)?  The replacement hook fits loosely in the coupler.  Is it peened over, soldered, glued etc.? If peened over, any tips on how to do it.  Thanks in advance for any help offered.
