Replacing hub seals, bearings, races and brake drum pads \\ Eagle bus maintenance

- Our 1989 model 15 what is desperate need of new wheel bearings and hub seals. While inspecting the brake pads for the bogie wheels I discovered the the slack adjusters had been adjusted outside of normal working order. This was done by the previous owners because they did not want to replace the almost non-existing brake shoes. Also, something I didn’t mention in the video, the price for the brake shoe replacement kit was for two complete kits.

I love the fact that you clean and paint the parts befor puting them back on
Me too😄. It was messy project for sure and a good cleaning was definitely needed🤘🏼
Great video very good explanation and detail keep up the great videos I am learning and reviving a 1986 eagle coach 300 000 miles total
300k is pretty good for an Eagle. Engine and drivetrain were reman’d in ‘09 but only have 86k on them… lots life life👌🏼. As for the rest of things, you can see where I’m at 😄
Thanks for watching!
air chisel and torch should be your next tools you buy
Id love a torch! We’re usually on the road, so the space would be too limited for that. However, I do have a 4” angle grinder and a solder torch😄. I also picked up an pneumatic hammer to help with the kingpins
Thanks for the comment✌🏼
Good education my brother
Appreciate that. Always trying to share the wealth😉✌🏼
Hope you put new drums on with the new shoes
New drums for eagles are like “unobtainium”🥲😉. But the drums were still within spec for inner diameter. Walls were still straight too.
Awesome content . About to do the same on mine this month
Awesome, thanks for watching! Gives me hope😄
I’m completing another bus conversion for a client now. Once I’m finished, I’ll get back after our bus. My plan is to tackle the rear axle, king pins and the taper pins. Hopefully I’ll keep you around🤘🏼😎
great video.
Thank you! Always a work in progress 😄
Wow well done!
Thank you!
Good stuff. Like your explanation while you work. On another note, any suggestions on insurance companies I can look into for my Eagle?
Thanks for watching! We use State Farm and I believe they are starting become the norm for most. Progressive is a definite no go,so ovoid them. We two policies on our bus. One is for a no commercial bus and the other is for the personal items inside. Best of luck !
