They're not many things on this planet tougher than a tapered roller bearing. The ones from that bus are as porous from wear as a sugar cube sprayed with hot water. The time and force required to do that is mind boggling but they held their shape overall. It's simply amazing how strong humans can make some things and then gradually destroy them with neglect.
A hot water pressure washer would make your cleanup way easier. I invested in one years ago and it works awesome. Melts the grease and dirt away way better than a standard cold water pressure washer. Good catch on the hubs being different, alot of people would of overlooked that one!
That bearing damage is rolling contact fatigue pitting which is the usual failure mode for very high mileage taper roller bearings, they typically have a hardened surface with a softer carcass. These terms of course are relative, what happens is the hardened surface will break away from the main carcass of the bearing which then goes on to further damage it. This is also made worse by poor adjustment, if you mess up the setting procedure it makes matters much worse. If that vehicle was in revenue service before you got to it it should have had regular inspections and those issues SHOULD have been picked up much sooner. From the evidence so far the best cure would be a gallon of petrol and a match, just be careful you don’t singe your eyebrows…
What a mess. Dont think I have seen a bearing so badly pitted and still having the pins intact. Glad the guy's have got you guys to help sort this one out. Looks like a long job with more issues to come.
The more I watch your videos and I watch them for you about 5 years the more I see this man put certified mechanics to shame and uncover some of their screw ups. If I had a bus that needed work done on it, Scott would have the job, no question.
If this was fleet maintained I can almost guarantee you it was laziness. The fleet mechanics ive met do the absolute bare minimum and they dont even try and hide it. 🤬
That wheel bearing was ready to take flight. That bus had some real hackers in its journey. When I heard it shift on the forth try I knew 1st gear was gonna do it. That ole girl just hangin in there WOW.
Everything is just Crumpled to $#!+, that's for Sure. Likin' that New Floor Jack. 😛 And thank goodness for Pressure Washers, what a Time Saver! U're gonna' have a Big Order, to Receive!
It's a wonder those wheels didn't fall off of that bus cuz that looked dangerous as hell all you need is was just one or two of those lug to pop out the rest of them would have been history keep up the good work
That was a soup sandwich. Who the heck put parts on that bus prior to this owner ? That hub taking a beating from the brakes takes the cake. I’ve never ever seen something like that before.
those two wheel hubs look like they are off different models the flange to wheel spacing is the same to look at but the back sides are totally different so was either a back yard fix to get it mobile and off load it or was some shady workshop that could not get the right part or didnt care and just made it fit and did not care it was so dangerous to send it out like that. maybe thats why a brand new seal was still leaking as it likely was not ment for that stub at all!
Monstrous lack of maintenance. MANY years ago, I got a cross country ride in one of these. As I was minding my own business, dozing off, I heard a crack, & something flew out of the wheel assembly, a stone I thought. Then another, and another, and another - I got the driver to stop & inspect, found four studs broken off (due to overtightening I guess). We crawled into Chicago for repairs.
In New Zealand, where I live every vehicle, before the year 2000 is inspected every 6 months. If you showed up with that much rust you would be ordered off the road. It would be virtually impossible to get it certified and back on the road. I had a small amount of rust in my MGB and it cost a fortune to get it fixed and keep it on the road. I enjoy your videos.
Yes as we know Ian our COF and WOF inspections can be tough. this bus would not make it, so what do they do in the USA as far as vehicle safety inspections go I wonder, there is much welding work to be done to the structure let alone tie rod ends and wheel bearings
@merledoughty5787 US DOT inspection shops are a joke. Most of the time, those techs only check the lights, braking distance, horn, wiper blades, tread depth, and signals. Only a state trooper with a personal ax to grind would bother failing a vehicle with a rusty frame. And only one that was in the northern states used to seeing salt on the roads damage frames.
Another beautiful coach that has lacked maintenance from a real mechanic ! If they had just washed out the undercarriage more often maybe it wouldn’t have rusted so much. That road salt during the winter months just eats them up !
Beautiful bus but there’s a heap to do to get the chassis back. Notice you didn’t mention the big crack visible top-right 3.22, but maybe that’s a manufactured slot? Guessing the aluminium panels would be practically impossible to get nowadays but they look in great shape. The rest is just metalwork, time, and lots of money. Great job! Subscribed! 👍🏻
Come on guys, Ear protection!! It only takes a second to put on. You don't realize what you are loosing until it's gone. The damage is permanent. It won't come back and even if you think your hearing is already shot protect what you have left.
I was thinking exactly the same about hear protection and I'd also add eye protection when using those big impact drivers or banging on metal parts. A flying metal debris could easely rob you an eye. Hey gang, we love you well and healthy besides you'll look real cool wearing those glasses !

This is one of the first things that need checked when you buy a bus, and probably the most neglected. I'm still looking for that needle in a hay stack, but even it will need something.
Wow, I had a trailer with bearings that bad, But I guess with small tyres and grease it was just heat that destroyed the bearing and it was pretty much loose. The bearing pretty much fell apart after cutting hell out of my hands.
I’m a noob on big rig suspensions & axles: but! How did those roller bearings get pitted like that at 17:30’ish ?? It’s almost like there was a chemical or galvanic assault on them. I’ll watch the rest of the story and hope I hear an answer. Love y’all’s work!!
That there is a classic case of 'grease contamination'. People, ya gotta keep all these surfaces free of extraneous lubrication. 🤪 I'm not an expert, but this looks like excessive wear. Bearings are very hard, thus brittle. With all the stresses and metal detritus, the bearings fail. Being so hard, they tend not to wear down or deform. Instead, they fracture breaking off tiny pieces that add to the problem. This looks like a long term accumulation of this. However, as I said, I'm no expert....
@@tsbjelland Roller bearing rollers are also case hardened. Once the outer, hardened layer is compromised it starts to flake away and expose the softer metal underneath. The pits also create vibration and impact loading that accelerate the process of fracturing away more metal.
Geez, it's the kind of bus where it might be better just to get it drivable, drive it back home, and park it. Maybe somebody with a lot of rural land would want it just to live in. Get all the hotel functions in good order and you have a home in the woods! A side benefit is that it can actually move about on the property if needed.
What do you do about the rust? That would never pass its yearly inspection here in NSW Australia. At least it’ll be a helluva lot safer when it leaves you! Hope your back improves Scott, so debilitating…🇦🇺🍺🍺

The tech who put on that mismatched hub must have ramed down the bearing preload to get the hub the right depth into the wheel well. I wish more states would require inspectors to look for rusty frame damage on all vehicles as standard operating procedure. This vehicle could rot through cause a huge pile-up accident on a highway.
Not really. Usually just what you can see without disassembly. I worked in fleet shops and we took good care. Garbage truck shops are the worst in my opinion.

The bearing is nasty. That hub is nasty and shouldn't be used. The studs could break out of it. They aren't even a matching pair. that poor guys won the jackpot.
I'm an old man ( 79 ) and I have never seen such bad looking bearings . That could have been tragic . I enjoy your channel .
