  1. Maybe
    I suppose time will tell
     
  2. After using heat to free off the seized lock nut
    And the thread file and die to clean the end threads up
    I've managed to remove the steering box cover

  4. I always wondered what the inside of a bus steering box looked like. :)

    It certainly does. Makes you wonder what they do to the 'refurbed' ones?

    A clean, fresh paint and perhaps fresh oil!
     
  7. It's supposed to be gear oil
    However when they start to leak some people fill them with grease
     
  8. How far off MOT time Paradox?
     
  9. grease mixed with sawdust

  11. Sorry for lack of updates
    Life's been a bit busy of late and my heads been struggling so I've not felt sociable.
    I have been moving the van on though

  16. Para, where's all the pics gone of the gearbox refurb. I was explaining about the old tractor enamel but the pics are all gone (around page 250 ish).
    Not been in here for a while. My bus is still there on it's side. haha.

  17. The hosting sites me and Paul used at the time changed all the links so the pics no longer show

    Like you have found fella
    Life chucks all sort of Marmite you weren't expecting
    After lots of that for many years I've finally got to a place where I'm content and chilled
    I used to look out of the window at my bus and think one day you will take me away from all this
    Now I look at it and think why do I keep you

    All honesty I'm sick of the feeling sight of it
     
  18. Sorry for the ramble
    What did you want to know about the enamel?
