it took 3 of us 3 hours to do a full filter change on it 1oil,2fuel,2hydro,1air filter. put on a fan belt that we had to tak out the fmic and alot of other part to get to the pullys. And left it for 3rd shift to finnish it up and put chains on it because of the little amount of snow we got.

I used to work on smaller versions of that stuff in the NAVY. It's probably a little easier pushing an F14 around than a A330.

We had to do the front bearings, and put chains on that thing last night. Boy was that fun... haha We also put chains on 6 other pushbacks, and there wasn't a single pile of snow anywhere on the ramp, other than what had collected on the planes and vehicles.
