What if it Snows?

My yellow light is burned out. Red light comes on, it’s panic time. If it’s an intermittent problem, makes it real fun. Have to catch a blink code while it’s active.

 

I provided holes for 3 inches of waist expansion... And there is room enough that he could add another 1, maybe even 2, holes beyond that.

 

Another Mack "road map". Thing ought to dig and fly, just wobble the sticks around.

 

This is from last time, 9 mos. ago Surface cleaned very well with emery cloth. I didn’t put it back together carefull enough. The tire/wheel,drum/hub assembly is heavy. I can barely lift it anymore.

 

OK. Jack leg MS boy's way.
Smooth solid surface to jack and wrestle from.
Jack it up and take off what you will. Pull old seal , inspect surfaces, and replace with new seal.
Lay down a piece of plywood, floor tile, or something solid on ground below spindle.
Smear a light coat of chassis grease on it where the wheel assembly taken off will sit.
Roll, drag move what you took off up close to your spindle.
Raise the jack- or lower the jack to match your wheel take off.
Slide the wheel take off in closer and readjust with the jack as you need to match as you push it on
I can pull, reseal, and put back the steer wheels on a 40K capacity Clark forklift by myself. (Wrong- Used to could- not now) Lowering is hard to control. lower more than you need, then jack back exact. Upstrokes are controllable.

{All this considering how/what you are describing you take off and can't lift. Don't you lift, stroke the jack.}

 

. Now that’s a lot of gears

 

What I do is put down a solid plastic mudflap, spray it with pb. Slide tire on it. Usually works good. Picking it all up, from the ground after installing the seal is tough.

Then set up before start, remove whole tire, wheel by sliding it out and off with the greased flap. Then roll lit back and lean against the tanks.
Do your seal work, then roll it back on to the flap (get it on the grease) adjust the jack and mate it back.

Jacks lift. Wheels roll. Anything heavier than a 10 dollar bill, we used a forklift. Kept an older but goody "SHOP TRUCK" on hand for things like this.
You got guts, and a helper, you can use a forklift to gently lift the jacked up tire/wheel/hub assembly, back away and park. After work completed, drive it forward and with loud abusive voice commands, direct the fork op as to fitting it back. Laugh if you will, but we pulled and reset engines in forklifts that way.
Sometime I was in command, sometimes I took the abuse. Good times. money rattling 8 and 10 hours a day.

 

Veery nice!
