Yankee bus lift

If you put a jack under the support points to raise the coach another 6″ how are you going to get the stands under the same body support points?

Duh. Don’t make me think Jon. It gives me a headache.
I guess I’m gonna have to buy me a couple of those tire lifts that Prevost uses. Gonna have to sell the herd to do it. Somehow don’t think 35 cows will cover those. Maybe sell the dogs for science projects. They just ran out the pet door!

Actually you can lift the coach to a greater height.. Fully inflate the air bags so the coach is at the maximum height. Using your air over hydraulic jacks lift the whole coach under the axles. That leaves the support points totally unobstructed so you can slide stands under the coach.
It is going to get scary because you have just doubled the components that can fail. Air bags plus the hydraulic jack. Very slim chance of that happening, but still a potential.

Computer won’t let me post more than 1 pic at a time. Look at the spool inside the norgren and you can see the build up from the moisture.

Where the purple and black wire go in moisture has built up inside corroding the inside. When I installed the new norgren I filled the hole with dielectric grease. Will try to upload more pics when it will work. Rick

Rick, If those Norgrens have signs of internal corrosion you can expect the rest of them in the system are showing the same thing. Those particular valves are the system exhaust valves for the left and right rear suspensions. For moisture to reach those valves it has to literally make the entire route from the aux air origin back to the air bags in the rear and then back out to the two solenoid operated valves.

I finished replacing all 10 norgrens this weekend. On tuesday evening I’ll pick up my new enterainment center. It looks great. Pics to follow soon. Rick

on pic! age and corrision of surfaces… pic explains more than any words can.

Good job Rick. It’s wierd, those two valves in a Liberty are in a good environment (steering bay) as opposed to the other Norgrens that get harsh treatment. I’ve thought that one of the problems is running with the shutters open in bad weather allowing lots of mosture to enter the compartment over many years. Just a thought, can’t prove it.
