Hours to come

Been a while again, and will get hours up shortly.

Worked on a 24 ft moving truck again today, last friday we replaced the rear wheel seals and now one of them is leaking.
Sadly we dont have the "wingis" driver as Jeff calls it from the school.  So we had to push it in with the old seal and a hammer.

didnt finish it today but will be finished on monday or tuseday.

The reason it came back was because the rear brakes went out due to an abs fault and so it drove from Seattle to Portland, then Portland back to Bellingham on just the front brakes. NOT a fun sight in my mind or looking at the results.

Sorry its been a while.

Sorry i havent posted anything for a couple weeks, just been busy.

a few weeks ago had to replace the struts on a ford windstar. The rear struts wernt hard, the front ones were. on top of that we had to pull the front driver side one out 3 times due to a defective top plate for it. when you turned the wheels it would make a bad chirping sound.

Then last week we replaced the brake pistons on the truck i used to get my tool box from the school to the shop. Both pistons where leaking. the first part of taking the brakes off was similar to taking the brakes off of a semi truck with the springs and such, then after that was nuts and bolts.
