This is how I removed the seats from our school bus. This seemed to be the best and most simple way.

Thank you so much. I'm a 59 yr old women that's never had her own home, and I plan on getting a short school bus and making it my own, so I'll be watching allot of your videos. Thank you

The angle grinder is really the MVP of a Skoolie demo, we have used it more than any other tool so far =)

That seems to be the case so far!! We used it about 12 times yesterday when removing the floors.

Just found your channel. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to position cameras and spend the time on editing. I do editing as well and I KNOW its a huge amount of post effort you are putting into these. Wife and I are going the Skoolie route in the the next few months and it's content like yours that will make our process smoother. CARRY ON and again - THANKS!

I'm very glad you talked about using pneumatic tools as well. On my way to buy those items now before I pick my bus up next week. Good info!! Have the grinders and most everything else needed. Thanks!!

Yes! Definitely saved us a bunch of time. I'm contemplating getting a pneumatic sander now. We'll see. The harbor freight wrench did a great job for us.

Love your channel and your story. How about spot welding the top instead of cutting? Would that have worked?

@BackroadPurpose 4 жыл бұрын

I actually thought about it but the bolts underneath we're really rusted so I wasn't going to save anytime doing it that way and could not reuse these bolts either.

Question for you! I’ve been taking the seats out of my mini bus, but it seems that one row of bolts is on top of the gas tank Period is there some trick that you found to get bolts like that out?

@BackroadPurpose 3 жыл бұрын

I have not. My first thoughts is that you could grind off the heads of the bolts and then the rest of the bolt should just fall out the bottom of the bus! Congrats on the new build btw!

@@BackroadPurpose I ended up cutting the heads off thinking the same thing, but found that there was access beneath the floor (when I took it up) to right above the gas tank. Ended up having to saw by hand for a few of them which was a pain, but got the others out with a multi tool. Not a fun process lol. But it’s done! And thank you!

How did you fill the holes in the floor?

@BackroadPurpose Жыл бұрын

We did the penny method but now dont even worry about it on client buses. Water wont get up there and then its a good place for water to drain for a pipe burst or something.
