Pilot bearing check

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4

The pilot bearing on the frieghtliner is good I checked it out for wear and it felt like it had been properly greased so there was no damage it was smooth and lubed when I reinstalled the clutch

Sheet 17 Air brakes

Iparticipated in a disassembly of one of the ZF loader axles.Stephanie and I took apart the smaller axle.We found that the planetery gears inside are held together by a ring and it was a challenge to reasembleble it but we did it. I did 14 brake jobs total on all the trucks in the shop it was quite the learning experience today i feel confident that I can use my skills to fix any truck brake by using my basic skills i learned on instalation and examination of brakes from Jeff.

23 Removeing transmision 15 hrs

1. Remove and reinstall transmission. I worked on the frieghtliner transmission removal It was nice to have the option of the truck lift first I removed the drive line and set the lift under the tranny and tied it so it was secure.Then I took the bolts that hold the transmission on the engine.Follewed by a up down motion with the tranny lift so it would seperate from the block of the engine and slowly bring the tranny down.I think this process would be very difficult in th e field without a lift but certainly I can do it.I inspected the clutch wear and the tolerance with the dial indicayer to check for trueness and wear of the crank bearing andresults were within the .008 permited by the eaton. 2. Inspect and test function of reverse light, neutral start, and warning device circuits; determine needed action. 3. Inspect and test operation of automatic transmission electronic shift selectors, switches, displays and indicators, wiring harnesses. 4.

Inspect, service, or replace driveshaft, slip joints, yokes, drive flanges, and universal I inspected the slip joints and yoke drive flanges for wear and loseness they all looked to be tight and secure fit and lubed. joints, driveshaft boots and seals, and retaining hardware; check phasing of all shafts. 6. Inspect driveshaft center support bearings and mounts; determine needed action.
