Really enjoyed watching the hub/brakes repairs! As an ex bus mechanic here in UK (1970's) I fully endorse your change to greased bearings. Keep the videos coming. Especially the repairs type.. Thx much.
Appreciate the feedback. There’s not many agree with grease over oil. I’m trying to mix in some maintenance with the driving vids, to show just how glamorous the owner driver lifestyle is😂.
Good job Paul If you thought that was a fun job, I just finished putting new wheel bearings, seals brake shoes and new drums on my old 4x8 Drake swing-wing, everything is so expensive when you have 16 hubs, not to mention packing 32 wheel bearings by hand Take Care Mate
I like your videos because you're not showing just playing trucks. Operating a truck is a lot more than peddling up and down the road. You should show the money going out of your wallet too. Cheers mate.

Excellent show how to change all these parts.
Hopefully people find it interesting.
@TruckinAbout They sure will. You're up early. Don't you sleep much?
@RoadTrainAdventures haha, nope. I’m supposed to be on my way to Melbourne but a winch job had just came up. Will knock it out first.
New brake shoes new brake drums best way to go i have seen too many broken brake drums even on coaches.
Yeah I will put new drums on very soon. Those ones are fine for now, just need the bank balance to recover a bit then I’ll get new drums.
Good job Paul

Haha, yeah a couple of front wheel bearings is nothing compared to what you’ve just done. Nice work 👍.
Nicely done Paul,keep up the great work👍😎
Cheers.
Loved the video. How many kms on the truck? Roughly how much (roughly) $ were the parts
700k on the truck. Parts were around $2500.
cool video
Cheers.
Great video. Really appreciate you showing this
Cheers mate. Good to get the feedback.
Putting hubs back together, just do it to the torque specs the manufacturer says, simples
Just out of interest, are you a mechanic by trade and an owner driver by choice?
Yep that’s pretty much it. Haven’t worked as a mechanic since I finished my apprenticeship many years ago.
I am a heavy motor mechanic

It would have to be a slo-mo video, the money comes out that’s fast you can’t see it with the naked eye 😂.
Cheers mate.
A pilot with benefits!
I’m the one that gets the benefits 😂.
