Replacing a Damaged Wheel Hub - Caterpillar 40 Ton Haul Truck

[@matthewbeasley7765]

So there is brake oil, final drive oil and axle oil? I missed how the 3 are sealed from each other. Are the wheel bearings in final drive oil?

[@KT3406E]

There is hydraulic oil and gear oil (Cat TDTO). The finals and bearings run in the TDTO, and the brake housing is full of hydraulic oil. They are sealed apart from each other by the inner duo cone seal, which can be seen in the video where I have the replacement hub laying on the bench in the shop.

[@matthewbeasley7765]

@@KT3406E Thanks for replying. I re-watched from about 12 min to 17 min and finally figured it out. It looks like there is nothing to seal around the shaft from the differential to the final drive, correct? I guess on a side hill some oil can move to the low side, but the high side is still going to have a fair amount of oil trapped below the level of the inside of the axel housing. Losing the inner seal sure would suck. All of the hydraulic oil would flood the axle. Kind of like oil certain injector seal failures that fill the crankcase with diesel.

You stated at the end of the video why would anybody want to watch this, It’s because of the content, the monotone humor in your voice. It all adds up to an hour long awesome video that you can’t stop watching

I am an ER doctor, so my only connection with this video is to see how some of those hands, feet, and toes that we take care of in the ER get so damn crushed and mangled. With that said, this is one of best, most interesting, satisfying and fun videos on the internet. To answer your question of "Pretty, ain't it?". Yeah. It really is. Absolutely awesome.

when yo mama beat u like little chicken did u record that part to case study?

[@boboften9952]

Doctor , Hint when you take the wheel nuts / lugs of the tyre , use the power in your legs to " break the beading seal of the nuts / lugs on the tyre , rim " Eg . Put nut / lugs wrench on at an angle so that you can push it with your foot , leg ..... not with arms , back etc . Becareful not to slip over ( put a hand on the vehicle to steady your self ) There is a lot more power in your legs of course , than the back strain , fatigue of the arms . Thanks for reading I hope this helps others too

[@gamedetective3920]

Doc, I am with you on this one. I am a retired Detective and had to have a working knowledge of everything I investigated. There were times I had to do some serious research and talk with professionals of all kinds to bring a case together. At social gatherings everyone wanted to talk to me about all the crazy things I investigated throughout a 31 year career. Believe it or not, I was more interested in learning about their profession. You would be surprised at what you learn from other professionals in their related fields. In many instances, they were stagnant in their field and thought it was too boring to talk about. I found what they had to say was very interesting. Many times we have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to make our world go around. We are all just a small cog in a huge machine that keeps this world running.

I am a still working heavy equipment mechanic. I have worked on many Cat 725s, 730s and 745 haul trucks. Have torn down many final drives to replace duo-cone seals, and you are absolutely correct about the lug nuts. So important that those nuts are torqued to the correct spec. Guessing with a powerful impact is not any way to do it. If the nuts are not tightened to the correct and equal torque you are headed for a huge costly breakdown.

[@JimJohnson-cr9ne]

He is right on, but I thought I heard an attempt to lay the damage off on the tireman. Tire man NEVER removes a wheel. Had that happen to me once. Cat delivered three machines directly with out going thru their shop. I was called there to repair flats. Two hours after I had finished, got a call saying I had left lugnuts loose. After a five minute conversation,my problem was over.Accepted their apologies and they sent a haul trk

As a tire tech that deals with normal tires, watching the process for disassembly and assembly of the tire alone was really cool. I've never done two piece wheels, because of how dangerous I hear they are, but I didn't know five piece wheels were normal on big equipment. Really cool to see!

One time we even had telemetry set up to measure the stress in the rotating wheel rim, the part you had to replace, but I think that was on the D550 instead of the D400. All happened back in 1985.

You always ask why anyone would watch, well im here here because im sick of flabby arses and sweaty flaps jiggling to the same song for 50000 different videos, we need good old fashioned mechanical knowledge and dry man humour to not go crazy, and this channel is by far the best place to find that. Very well done my friend, and hi from the UK

Thanks, I never saw the working of that wheel assembly before. The brake system is pretty cool huh?

I think I was 30 before I learned there were brakes & clutches that operate in an oil bath - One thing trying to make things slide and the other thing trying to stop things sliding!
