At the Mariposa rally a few years back, I video'd the
complete bearing R&R procedure from jacking up the coach to
as far as we could go considering the lack of a correct part
and fading light.
It was an all day deal, and I worked with Craig
(Craig...Craig...Gene Fisher, help me out here - I can't
remember his last name...).
Anyways, it was up close and personal. Not a bench-top
thing. All the sights, sounds and smells of doing this job
in the dirt, with tools, rags, rust, spider webs and other
drek that you (or your fully-informed mechanic) will see and
experience. When you finish watching the video, you will
probably have to wash your hands and put on clean clothes.
We couldn't finish to the "wheels back on the road"
conclusion because Craig discovered that he needed a new
hub. A replacement was not available, so we had to end the
whole thing at that point. He put it back together as best
he could the next day.
But...most of the procedure - especially the hard parts -
are there. There is also some time spent with Darren Paget
and his bearing tool set (which is no longer available, but
highly desirable if you can find one). Toward the end of the
day, there is a little of Chuck Aulgur doing a bench-top
demo of the bearing R&R, but that couldn't be finished
because a required tool was missing.
I haven't edited it yet, but if anybody is interested, I can
put it together and offer it. I figure the same deal as with
the Onan video - a share of the proceeds to go to Patrick
and Billy to help support the mailing list.
So...there you go.
