Loose flywheel gm 4104 bus. Detroit diesel 671

amzn.to/2SiyxK3 I use these gojo scrubbing towels everyday and love them.
Tightening the loose flywheel on a gm bus. This detroit diesel inline 671 has a very loose flywheel. Removing the transmission to get to the flywheel. Replacing the rear main seal, flywheel bolts, throw out and pilot bearings and more

[@donlyon5151]

I grew up on Detroit Diesels , Always have loved them but watching this man work on them is incredible he is got to be one of the best I have ever seen , he’s like a surgeon at work !

[@Idelia412]

I am glad to see these old buses are being saved by interested collectors. So many things of old are gone forever.

[@mackpeteno]

My wife was my helper for 30 years.Done Detroits and Cummins.Started in 1973.Women make good workers.We have 64 years now.Ya'll make a great team.

[@cliffw6084]

Scot & Kelly are an amazing couple! I am soooooo glad that they are in charge of repairing this 4104. There are too many horror stories of people doing shabby work, or not the right work, and charging high dollar prices, only to have the work needing to be redone. He is centrally located now, and Nashville is a terrific city to visit while they are working on your bus. Way to Scot & Kelly!!!!

[@sarunit63]

Hats off to you 2 for working as a team and not throwing tools at each other well don

[@rwandersonut]

When, I was young, my dad bought a 4104 and converted it to a motor home. This brought back so many memories, especially the reverse solenoid. Ours broke so it was my job to run to the back an do it manually. Good times!

[@jimtomassetti4817]

I have to say..... I've been Driving Buses for 49 year's. School Bus Transit Buses Coach Buses Old Look New Look Best two buses GM ever built! You are top shelf....Your work is spotless. And your wife is Excellent all so. Your a amazing person. Thank You for all your vidio's! Well Enjoyed 😊

[@daviddavis7855]

Kelly is a superb photographer. Her camera work is great, and is part of what makes this channel so good.

[@bansheebutler]

I think it's super cool your wife is helping you! I'm Glad to see her in more of your videos.

[@jimgoodman5123]

Don't disregard the smooth and steady pulling power of the golf cart to help finesse your heavily loaded house out of the engine bay. For harder "controlled pulls" consider vertically burying some 4-foot lengths of 6" diameter steel pipes flush at several points along the perimeter of the pad and having caps on them to keep sand and water out till needed. When needing them as an anchor point, remove the cap and insert a slightly smaller diameter 8-foot length of pipe (or I-beam) into the 6" pipe. The pipe or beam sticking up can then be used to anchor a come-along or even an electric winch. The recessed receiver pipes would be out of the way til needed. Love your channel and really admire the way you and the amazing Miss Kelly work as a TEAM. Thank You guys for many hours of instructive and highly entertaining videos. Many of us are living vicariously through your videos.

[@timharrison9060]

Kelly deserves dinner out for all that work, you go Camera Girl....be safe, Tim and Cat

[@eddiepatterson5025]

Kelly does a awesome job of a mechanics helper Scott. You’re blessed to have her for a wife.

[@helgelarsen4850]

Hello from Norway! WOW, the way you two work together.... no yelling, no arguing, not even a smallest raise in anger level or vioce... Thats the way it should bee. Just love the way you two combine skills and effort to get the job done. A suggestion for you: Can you please quote the prices of parts you install if you can. Or at least quote the listing price, if you got some extra deals on parts and dont want to show "your" price. I'll bet there is a lot of bus owners out there curious about that. love your videos. PLEASE keep them comming. I especially love this kind of videos.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

I’ve watched you do that out in the middle of nowhere. I still can’t believe you can do that (practically) on the side of the road. I sit there and go uhhhhh. You got a good helper. Reminds me of my late wife. She could read my mind after years of service work together.

[@jesusvera1210]

I have so much respect for mechanics like yuor self, they are very common anymore, great job

[@208miuwu]

Scott your Brain is T Book Of Eli. I watch how you study and pick apart every little thing and I`m blown away. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you both for your amazing videos, stay safe and God Bless.

[@mikesell6875]

Great to see you working in oil again and so lucky to have a lovely wife also getting stuck in, looking forward to the re-assembly both. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@flir67man84]

Kelly skills are getting good.. please keep her in the mechanic videos.. 😱 i know she doesnt want to get dirty.. but you two make a awesome team

[@timothyobrien1850]

Sir it is a pleasure to watch you work. I learn a great deal about technique. I also notice you work as a team; this is a delight.

[@Boze0415]

Well said!!

[@brycejeannotte7699]

I was very impressed with the way that you and Kelly worked together to get that transmission out. I don't think it would have been so calm and polite if my wife and I tried the same thing. :-)

[@peterlindop4491]

Scot you do a top class engineers job on these old Detroit engines, Kelly your help is equally as important, you are very much a part of the dual success of this channel on utube. Peter UK

[@gordonmcmillan883]

Everything on that bus looks clean, straight, and un-messed with. Somebody really loved it.

[@diannesapp5984]

Just received October 2020 Woodworking Journal, low and behold “Grease monkey” was referred to on a tool identification quiz. Drum brake maintenance tool for removing the spring and washer assembly. Scott and Kelly your site is being watched by a lot of us non bus owners but enjoy watching quality work being done. Transmission extraction was excellent, thanks once again for your efforts. William

[@siaripop7]

Even though Scott and Tyler working together could have warranted a name change to 'Bus Grease Monkey's' seeing Kelly at work deserves more than an honorable mention for any name changes! She's the real deal! Great job Kelly!

[@Akfordmn]

Well done Kelly!! you both are calm, cool and collected working together...

[@BuckJones1909]

Maybe and only a big maybe I could take things apart, but there is no way I could get it back together!(UNLESS SCOTT WAS THERE TELLING ME) I’m always amazed at how knowledgeable and calm he is!

[@richardvarner6636]

It’s great to watch you work, Scott. I’m really impressed with the work you do. You are really good, and really knowledgeable. I must say, Kelley is a really have a great helper. She did a fantastic job helping you remove that transmission.

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

You and Mrs. Grease money make it look so easy Scott! we are living in a country now where that grease on your hands and arms aren't acceptable for a skill trade, but, that's where the money is! in that grease! I'm an Industrial mechanic/electrician with plenty of grease! I don't do diesels though. One of the biggest reasons I haven't bought a bus is because of diesel work..Your swaying me over though, thank you for showing what it's like and how much work is involved. I'm looking. those old buses are VERY INDUSTRIAL, I'm thinking that maybe the deep work (cylinders, sleeves, rods, may not need that much work) seems like most of the problems are rust, grime, things that are stuck, and adjustments. Keep up the great work...

[@eddiekilby]

What a cool wife your wife is she gets right in there and helps you work on a old greasy Bus. 👍👍👍

[@bjre.wa.8681]

I just couldn't finish the video. It brought back Wayy to many Bad memories of being a mechanic. I really had to change occupations. That work was Too tough for a light weight like myself. I did it for 'bought thirty years.

[@matt82654]

56 thousand views in 3 days! You sure have hit on a winner Scott! I love your videos!

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Scott you and your wife make a great team! Great job getting the trans out. I saw what looked like a bead of weld slag between the flywheel and crank flange. That's probably what prevented it from fully tightening down.

[@philipcastetter6757]

You're a very blessed man to have Kelly to help you! She knows what is going on.

[@harrowtiger]

You made my morning finding loose flywheel bolts and wrong safety wires caused the loose flywheel. Phew, lucky escape there.

[@chuckpratt447]

You're definitely good at what you do be proud of yourself I never could do that

[@ericcorse]

The world is returning to normal. I'm glad to see no gonads were crushed during the flywheel removal.

[@LittleWapiti]

If you notice he had a board mounted cross-ways to catch the flywheel and protect his sensitive important bits.

[@Cemi_Mhikku]

Gotta say thanks for talking about those wipes so much. They're absolutely great. Swapping the transmission in my car currently, and nothing was getting the old, oil-soaked dirt and clutch dust sludge that was caked into the bell housing out. Had a bit of a brainwave and decided to try the wipes, and that finally did the trick to remove that slimy old gross mess. (And yes, I'm replacing every seal and gasket on the gearbox before I fill it back up and put it in my Annabelle, I wanna be completely sure it wasn't more than just a leaky rear main on the donor vehicle's engine.)

[@4321grp]

One thing I liked about working on Detroits was that I never had to worry about my tools rusting up.

[@keithcalder3275]

First of all what a fantastic job that you and Kelly have done, I like they way you investigate when you are doing any mechanical for the reason and the why and how things go wrong. I like that you put the fly wheel back to test for movement even though you were replacing parts, that is what I call dedication to you job and to the owner of the bus. Congratulations on your anniversary you have a fantastic assistant working with you giving you advice on some of the tasks that you both are doing. Love all your work Keith Calder Australia.

[@peterwall9896]

I'm in the UK and I never miss an episode the content is the best 😎

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Appreciate you !!! Thanks

[@jamesmoore3346]

I fully agree with Peter Wall.. You offer an exceptional service, do your best to check everything. What your doing is something that can only be learnd over many years. What can I say, you the man, lol... I think your the best of the best. Onlyvthose of us that has 'turned wrenches' our whole life knows what it takes to do what your doing....I've yet to work on a bus, looks like it would be very interesting.......I'd say looking at all the grease on your arms, it's a detroit, lol

[@MrJakobstahl]

Kelly is a great helper, she has seen a lot of jobs and know things :-)

[@alanprudhomme9090]

Been waiting for a miserable greasy hard to get out trans removal job for a while. This is what wrenching is all about. EVERYTHING is heavy as hell. Like to see how you work around the problems that come on a 70 year old buss. That's the diferance between a parts changer and a mechanic.

[@davidellison1929]

If it wasn’t for all of the SUPPORT & HARD WORK FROM KELLY....their wouldn’t be a BUS GREASE MONKEY!!!!!! Scott Ur so very LUCKY to have a Hard Working BEAUTIFUL WOMAN by ur side every step of the way!!! I don’t know any woman that would help do a BASTARD OF A JOB!!!! Thank You Kelly for all ur Hard work for Scott & all of us!!!

[@JR-jf4ok]

I really enjoy this type of videos and when Kelly is helping, the video becomes a 5 stars

[@jakespeed63]

Fascinating Worked on all kinds of vehicles in my life, but never a pusher bus. As a past race car tech, was not impressed with that safety wire job No wonder it came loose Good job 👍

[@Njderig]

I’m hooked on these videos. They’re relaxing and informative.

[@caseyc8603]

Watching those wipes holy crap 🤯 never seen something work so good on diesel oil!!!

[@n4zou]

Scott: have you thought about building an off grid type shower by the pad? It would be a small wood structure sort of like an old out-house with a bucket on top and a shower head with valve connected to the bucket. That way you can shower off without messing up the bus shower when you're extra dirty. I painted my bucket black and after a day in the sun the water is just right for a nice shower before going to my home. My wife likes it as well. She always uses it when she's been working outside.

[@stephencahill1840]

Great video Scott and your lovely assistant

[@davidowen888]

I WANTED TO JUMP INTO THE SCREEN AND HELP 😄 BUT KELL HAD ME COVERED 👍

[@CrazyPetez]

What a job pulling that transmission out. Good teamwork👍.

[@brettster3331]

I am so impressed with your ability to just start taking things apart and see what you find, Great job !

[@johnandcarolynmills3061]

A GREAT PAIR, Stay Safe you Two

[@michelbrodeur6055]

I read some of the comments and echo all the positive ones regarding Kelly's assistance in this endeavour. I also hope you change that parking brake drum as it's trashed in my opinion. Keep the videos coming and be safe and healthy.

[@HandyManDM]

Wow, talk about some seriously awesome teamwork.... good going Scott & Kelly!!

[@markcunningham8142]

Nothing wrong with a man earning a living with his hands and not afraid of a little dirt.

[@73elperro]

Excellent team couple!!! keep videos coming cheers from California.

[@jameswoods7276]

That bus has had a bit of a tough life, but the TLC she's getting now will have her purring like a lion soon enough. Hopefully all that vibration hasnt damaged anything too badly.

[@ToomasTelling]

and thats why bolts need to be torqued down well especially the important ones like the ones on a flywheel.

[@ptshyu2]

Thomas Telling preload is very important

[@beckster181]

Kelly is like my wife, mine had a mechanic as a dad so when i met her she knew more about that stuff than i did, she just refuses to ever let me have a project sitting in the yard LOL. The good part is she is like Kelly and will give a hand if required and isnt worried if she gets her hands dirty. Any wife that understands that vehicles need to have money spent on them regularly is a keeper as it means when she wants to go somewhere you dont have to say cant cause the car/truck/bus is broken and then have her tell you its your fault because you didnt have maintenance done LOL

[@tonyhester9262]

Kelly’s a decent videographer

[@n6mz]

11:00 Kelly saves input shaft!! Incredible lady, you're a LUCKY man.

[@gs3504]

[@lawrence5117]

I hope that Kelly's time and effort is included in your charges,

[@ptshyu2]

[@12tallod]

Ah, the background sounds of nature, combined with the sounds of wrenching on man made devices. Doesn't get much better than this....thanks Scott and Kelly.

[@robertbrady9597]

wow great old bus nice job scott

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

Good advertising for Go-Jo wipes. Wow they look like they work great!

Hey Scott do you realize what a diamond you have for a wife she's in their work in and doesn't care about getting dirty I'm so impressed you're such a lucky gentleman to have such an incredible 1st sebil wife and a best friend I know I have one just like her that makes both of us extremely lucky man James T North Carolina

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Well aware how awesome she is

[@1982MCI]

Hey James, I happen to have one too. She’s been a nurse for a long time but she would rather put all that aside and work with me doing similar stuff or out plowing fields or something that allows her to get dirty!! Been married 27 years and keep thinking it can’t get better but it does each year! Most folks have no idea what they are missing by finding that right partner. Anyways James, we are up between Greensboro and Burlington and a bit south. Are you guys anywhere in my region or another part of the state? Take care James and stay safe out there!!

[@rustneversleep]

Your coworker seems to work very well with you . 👍🖐

[@aceflys]

I’ve always wanted a bus since I start camping over 30 years ago. After watching your videos I kind of thank myself for never making it happen. I know it’s a labor of love. But I don’t think my bank account can handle it. $500 For a solenoid😥. I guess I have the second best thing if you’re addicted to aluminum like I am. I’ve been an Airstream owner for over 15 years. #LivingInAluminum

[@JonBecker81]

I was thinking, “Welp we just need to make sure we never need to back up again” 😂

[@marshalllhiepler]

Time to start an "Emergency Fund" ... in case you need a back-up. 😉

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey Scott & Kelly Kevin here from Australia. It's great to see you (and Kelly) on the tools. Anyhoo thankyou for sharing and you stay safe and stay well. ✌ Peace guys. 🌻

[@greglechowski5030]

It's possible that those flywheel bolts may have been used over several times not to mention possibly of being overtightened also. They may be stretched and probably getting ready to fail. It would be interesting to micrometer the length of the old bolts and compare them to new ones. There was a video you did a while ago where a couple of bolts broke in a crankshaft. This old girl luckily didn't get that far.

[@davidhutchison3343]

Back in the day, I loved working on my old British four cylinder cars. Nothing was so heavy as to be difficult. Looking at you struggle with that pressure plate makes me glad I did not work on anything heavier.

[@JonBecker81]

Sounds like you’re in my neck of the woods with those cicadas going on. It’s been like that all summer, every day all day. I’m kind of ready for some quiet.

[@randyloosemore4978]

hello scoot and kelly wow that must really take alot of concentration and knowing how to do it taking all that apart which your very good at scott and with kellys help made it even more easyair to do so nice to see that you tightened the loose flywheel alot better yes i know your not done yet as i watch other videos i'll see how your coming along with it all so far what a amazing job your doing and i notice that yes those gojos rags/wides work very very great to take off all the grease on your hands and arms totally awesome so thankyou scott and kelly for this video until next one i say so log for now from Randy from ontario,canada take care p.s stay safe out there .

[@tl1024]

"Like & 'bell' "if I like old busses & detroit engines", uh, yeah, count me in. Already did, but still, yeah, old busses & Detroit's. You totally boosted my "Detroit diesel" thing up. The first I ever knew of them was a 4 cyl powered air compressor i saw derelict in the desert.

[@herrkiwi3110]

Crazy angled drive , never seen that before.

[@normanbuchanan9710]

I had to watch this a second time because the first time was just admiration for Kelly? hope I got the name right how hands-on she is and getting greasy right alongside you, I wish I could get my missis to do things like this with me.

[@mikemullay5622]

The cicadas are in full song! One time years ago when visiting my brother-in-law when he and his family were living near Lebanon, Indiana my wife and I were fascinated hearing them in the trees. Another visit, I saw fireflies for the first time. Neither exist in the Pacific Northwest.

[@richardlazarski4553]

Wait for the full emergence which I think is in 3 years, it every 17 years. It will be insane noisy and they will be everywhere

[@ansleysegraves3396]

Looks like at 22:56 there was something (dirt, metal glob) on the flywheel that was keeping it from seating all the way to the Crank. You can also see an indention I think in the end of the crankshaft at 23:00 that is about where it would have been as well. Love the video's.

[@Viperman200221]

After watching a few of your vids I went out and bought my own tub of the Gojo towels. I love them! I keep on showing people your vids as to how good they work and I always tell them to make sure you don't use the scrubbing side on your face or you might be screaming, LOL!

[@giggiddy]

I'm blown away with how well those Gojo towels worked. Id like to buy a tub but not sure how long they'd stay moist as I won't use them as fast as you might. Wow!

[@liebherr11602]

You and me both...and that's Detroit goo

[@wildtimbrown]

I bought a tub just pre-pandemic (From Lowes) I might use one or two a week and they don't seem any different from when I got them.

[@siaripop7]

As long as you replace the cap when not in use, they will last indefinitely.

Excellent job on The Video Work!!! Thanks for letting us See Your Good Work!!!

[@bcherbs]

OMG those critter noises are nuts.

[@billarroo1]

I guess you steam cleaned that whole mess, that is nice when you can do it. Even though you still get greasy. Great Video thanks William Orange County California.

[@davidwilliams9450]

Having this new property is saving Scott from a bunch of traveling to work on buses. The buses that are roadworthy can come to him. He did not have that luxury at his place in Indiana when he had to work on his own bus on the street in front of his house.

[@thalissonmedeiros155]

Aí não é mole não viu é puxado. Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏 !!!

[@RollinHomies]

Should’ve dropped about five gallons of degreaser back there while you were at it! Thanks for the video

[@bruceshenkel6991]

I hope someone donates a fork truck to you someday so you can ease those transmissions out a little better That would make things a helluva lot easier. My Grandfather had a Hyster model about 15 years ago but he sold it to another garage . If it was still here ,You could have it but alas been gone awhile sorry. As soon as I saw that cherry picker moving ,I thought boy I wish that old fork truck was here .

[@TKevinBlanc]

Those Go jo wipes would be great for preventing poison ivy. The urushiol is like transparent grease - very hard to wipe off without friction from a towel. You usually have an hour or two after exposure to get it off your skin, and you've got to use a towel or you just move it around... Hmm. Gonna try them.

[@jeffmcquade1838]

You have a treasure with Kelly.

[@bruceboatwright7488]

[@williamellis3961]

Wish my wife would help me on projects like this.

[@MastaT_150]

It’s so cool watching you work, you make things look easy when they definitely aren’t easy in the least. These people are so lucky there’s someone like you around!

[@johndziak98]

My guess is the clutch had been replaced once, they removed the flywheel to machine the surface, and when they installed it they didn't make sure the mating surface of the flywheel and crank was perfectly clean and smooth, I've seen it before where the smallest bit of corrosion can actually make the flywheel loosen over time.

[@wildtimbrown]

Go Kelly, Go Kelly! ;-). I got a tub of the Go-Jo towels at Lowes right before the pandemic. They haven't had them since! Amazon it is....

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Scott n Kelly With all that metal missing ,the imbalance would cause more than enough vibration to wear the crank and flywheel surfaces and stretch the bolts , To every action ,there is an equal , but opposite , reaction . Nice job ,would have loved to see it completed . Much Respect from Down Under

[@ralphballtrip2214]

All I can say you must love your job

[@haroldconover5221]
