The wheels fell off my bus!!!!

[greengrafter]

I was driving to work this morning....... there was a bit of a grinding noise, like a wheel bearing was on its way out, I looked in the side mirror and saw this.

 

I didn't have hardly any breaks,luckerly I was going slowly at the time and did'nt have a load of log/chip on.

 

 

It wasn't the best way to start a monday but at least the sun was shining.

[Spikey]

wow could have been nasty

[ben lightfoot]

lucky escape there but is that a bottle of jack daniels to help the day along lol. glad your ok

[Dave D]

close call, glad youre ok

[tommer9]

Ew close one!!

Looks like you had maximum life out of those wheel bearings though eh? lol

[Old Mill Tree Care]

What's wrong with that?! My last Transit always looked like that!

[greengrafter]

cheers guys.

 

It could of been a bad one, but luckily it happened in the one part of wales where there was'nt a hill

 

The bottle of jack daniels was the trusty standard issue scissor jack that is as much use as a bottle of Mr daniels for jacking a van up.

 

as a warning though it wasn't the wheel bearings it was the locking washer that goes between the 2 nuts holding the bearings and hub/half shaft in place.

 

I'll be checking the other side in the morning
