Work on the bus started on
1st July. On 3rd July our two HGV mechanics, John and Davie,
(with a little help from me) made a start on the removal of
the engine and gearbox from the bus. There were two reasons
for this. It will allow easier access to the front of the
bus for steam cleaning, sand blasting and painting and it
will be easier to carry out repairs to the engine and
clutch.
Starting at 11am the water was drained and the radiator
removed and the engine and gearbox were out by 3pm.
