Replacing Torsilastics on Eagles
« on: August 31, 2024, 11:46:40 AM »
I recently documented replacing a Torsilastic on my Model 10, step by step, from removal to reinstallation, which is posted on the Bus Grease Monkey forum with seventeen pictures and details about tools required. To access this you need to be a member of BGM, which is free, but you must sign up. The reason it is posted there is because of the tremendous support and interest on that forum when I posted details of an axle removal and replacement last year.[/font][/size]The Torsilastic posting is in the Bus Maintenance and repair section, titled "Replacing Torsilastics on a Eagle Coach", and the axle replacement is there as well under "An axle for Cody's Eagle", started in June 2023, and has over a hundred pages of postings.

You did a really fine documentation of the works both times Walter and you are an assett to the bus community besides a great friend. Nice work! I did notice the big difference in what you documented to your actual work was done under less than optimum conditions (outside on natural earth) and solo on your latest R&R! We're looking forward to seeing yours & Cody's Eagles at this year's RAOC rally less than a month away!
