    "Weren't planned for removal." Yes, they were, which is why they're there. No matter how well-designed, all machinery breaks down on occasion, which is why things like removable gearboxes and motors are used. The owner of the machine might keep spares on hand as well. Then there is PM, and preventative shutdowns, where things are removed and rebuilt, to keep the machine running.
    Things, such as bearing housings in the large weldments, if they're worn out, are welded up, on site, and bored out by portable boring mills, where new bearings are then installed. Everything is designed to be repairable, especially on these multi-million dollar machines.

      Obviously not designed (or poorly designed) to be repairable in the case of the coal scoop! Maybe repairable for non-gravity situations but that's not what we have here. But it was probably advertised as being easy to maintain long term.

      @@cybyrd9615 Well, that's the thing, isn't it. It IS repairable. The question is, how well designed is it for a reasonably smooth repair process. That's what I'm talking about here.

      That's just a normal thing here mate.
      In one of my jobs when I was a young fella, I was able to lift much heavier loads than the older fella's I worked with, and my name is Ryan, so they call me R Bucket, and ordered me a bucket hat through the company with it emblazoned on it. And thats how I got my name, That's just how it goes here haha.
      I head a large cyber security firm now, but I'm still called R bucket, and I still wear my hat 😀

    I used to work on heavy machinery, there was always something going wrong when working on them, something siezed needing cutting, something needing a sledgehammer or something breaking while demontaging it.
    It was always under time constraint, and everyone shouting about how much it costed them that I took an hour extra when shit was stuck.
    I was going to work long into the night on a machine, and the owner of the machine saw me cutting a row of rusty clamps that costed $5 each, and he told me they were reusable, so I packed up, went home in time, and restarted where I left off the next morning, unscrewing the clamps by heating them with a torch, wirewheeling them and repainting them, taking a good hour to save the last 5 clamps, at the end of the day, I had about an hours work left on the machine, I walked by the owner and said "Time to clock out, it should be done within an hour tomorrow morning" He then had to pay me cash in the hand to stay an hour extra and finish his machine, and I wasn't cheap.
    But it was always the same, and I had enough and quit soon after that incident.

That procedure would have to be recorded as it modified a part. Also - 40° is not an unusual temperature for an aircraft. That also must be factored into parts by the manufacturer.

But for the most part it's pretty common and it would be pretty stupid to regulate that out entirely.

    Airbus Landing Gear Pintle Pin R&R.
    I love the way they over dramatize the pintle pin nut problem. Nuts refusing to go on even new parts isn't really that big a deal. In this case checking the threads on the new pin is the first step in solving the issue. Threads on new parts can have small pieces of metal from the machining process stuck in the threads. Cleaning the threads is fairly straight forward using a thread file. This will also repair the threads themselves (if) the threaded are was bumped on a solid piece of metal creating a slight dent and burr. This could happen if the machinist was a bit distracted while removing the finished part from the mill.
    Yep they presented the nut stopping due to dirty or damaged threads as more complicated than it really was.

      When I was in the AF and we ran into this problem alot. First thing look at 5he threads and if they're not messed up, just spray WD-40 and clean with a wire brush. If the threads were damaged, then reach for the thread file to fix the threads, then follow that with WD-40 and a wire brush to make sure the threads were clean, and our shop did not work on the planes or any part that could potentially be attached to a plane.

      I worked for a Japanese company and the engineers valued experience. We had to report a problem and basically teach them about it with all pertinent info and root cause if we could define it. They told us we were the experts until they could grasp the problem. Completly different I'd say to North American engineers in their approach and being humble. It took time to gain their full confidence, but one you did you could say I think or believe and they would listen. I would only give solid facts and any question I could think of I answered before sending a report.

      Words men use who do men jobs. Keep worrying about papercuts, zoom meetings and ironing your shirt while men keep the world turning. Your wifes boyfriend must be proud of you after this comment. I hope he let you play his xbox in the basement.

    The video does not do due justice to how HUGE these machines are. The Bucket on that Hitachi EX5500 is massive. It makes the operator look tiny.

    Engineers don't fix anything. What you have there is a team of electricians and millwrights actually fixing it.
